Theprocessorcurrent iPhone, the A13, is engraved with a fineness of 7 nanometers. Whoever equips the next generation, for its part, should benefit from an improvement since it will be the first in the range to be designed in 5 nm. This SoC will again be designed by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), already in charge of manufacturing this family of components since 2016.
At the moment, the part is not official since it is not yet used on any device. The iPad Pro - fourth of the name - which was released a few days agointegrates for example an A12Z bionic. However, according to othersrumors, the assembly line design of this future product would be on the verge of being launched by the service provider.
No additional delays?
Thus, according to the often well-informed magazineDigiTimes, lāiPhone 12with a processorA14should not be delayed in delivery. A clue to qualify withprevious contradictory statements.
This time, they would be employees ofTSMCwho would have confirmed that their company's order schedule is indeed booked for all the months to come. We know that it takes many weeks to keep up with the millions of purchases that follow the announcement of an Apple-branded mobile. We will keep you informed if other serious hypotheses reach us in the meantime.
