How to read this record
- What was reportedThe iPhone 18 Pro will use WMCM packaging that places DRAM beside the A20 Pro SoC.
- Who said it, and whenWorld Leaks reported it on Jun 30, 2026 in Android Authority.
- What happened, and whenApple iPhone 18 Pro was announced on Sep 9, 2026, 71 days after this report.
- The verdict, and whyRightIt turned out the way this report said.Why: Apple's own page describes the A20 Pro packaging as "placing the silicon die side by side with memory" to improve heat flow, which is the arrangement this report described ten weeks early. Apple does not use TSMC's name for the process, so the WMCM label itself is unconfirmed while the substance it refers to is confirmed in Apple's words. What the company published
What do these words mean?
- Right
- It turned out the way this report said.
- Partly right
- Some of this was right and some of it was not.
- Wrong
- It did not turn out this way.
- Moving target
- This was right about the plan at the time. The company then changed it.
- Never settled
- The company has announced the product and nobody ever confirmed or denied this.
- Not comparable
- This measured a different thing from the number the company published, so the two cannot be compared.
- No outcome yet
- Nothing has happened yet that would prove this right or wrong.
- Not checked yet
- The company has answered this. We have not finished checking this one.
- Checked
- Checked means the company has since given an answer and we compared it with what was reported. Details still waiting on an answer, details nothing can settle, details where the plan itself changed, and details we have not finished reviewing are all counted separately and are not part of that number.
- Moving target
- A moving target is a report that described the plan accurately at the time, on a product the company then changed. We count these on their own: it would flatter a reporter to call them right, and it would blame a reporter for a decision that was not theirs to call them wrong.
