Apple A19, C2, M5 chip identifiers all leaked in early iOS 18 code


Several unreleased Apple Silicon chips recently surfaced in an internal build of iOS 18, including A19, M5, and C2, according to exclusive information provided to AppleInsider.

On July 3, AppleInsider exclusively shared a list of device identifiers that correspond to more than a dozen unreleased Mac configurations, many of which are set to feature variants of Apple's soon-to-be-announced M5 chip. In 2024, AppleInsider exclusively proved that Apple had created fully functional prototypes of its haptic button project, and we also explained that the company tested it on the iPhone 16 range. PurpleSniff, for instance, displays key device information, such as fusing, while iOS Menu lets users SSH into a prototype iPhone or iPad, among other things.
