When we were still holding the iPhone 13 and expecting the iPhone 14, the iPhone 15 had already begun to be exposed in advance. On the morning of January 11, a topic about #iPhone15 or will all be equipped with Apple's self-developed chip # rushed to the hot search list, the news triggered a hot discussion among netizens, some netizens have ridiculed: 64G 8P used to the fifth year, the battery has not been replaced, I just bought 13 you give me out 14, 15...
It is reported that the Taiwan Business Times quoted supply chain news that Apple will release the iPhone 15 in 2023 for the first time will all use Apple's self-developed chips, in addition to A17 will use TSMC 3nm process technology, its self-developed 5G baseband chip will also use TSMC 5nm, and the self-developed RF IC will use TSMC 7nm process. At present, Apple's self-developed 5G baseband chip and supporting RF IC have been designed and completed, and trial production and sample delivery will be carried out in the near future, and it is expected to be put into production in 2023.
In addition, Apple's iPhone 14 will be equipped with Samsung's 4nm process Qualcomm 5G data chip X65 and RF IC, with Apple's A16 application processor.
Netizen hot comments:
@ Seems to be difficult late autumn: apple heat is really high Ah 14 are not out 15 first on the hot search
@SHANMIN_M: Suppressing Huawei is to wait for 15 ???
@ Fat Witch who can't ride a broom 0118: I can say that in fact, Apple is easy to use, (I am not sublime), if Apple is normal, it can be used for a long time, and in the end it may be eliminated because the battery is not staring at it! I used the 6sp before for 5 years, and then I changed the battery, and the third year that my mother-in-law used it.
@Don't look at me as just a haruka: my 13 is only used for a short time, and 14 is not out yet. Just talk about 15?
@ Today's part is brainless but very happy: 64G's 8P has been used for the fifth year, and the battery has not been replaced
@ Brake to the crane to see: what is the use of self-development, or will not produce their own, TSMC Samsung a card neck will have to play, and Huawei is no different.
@ Gentle drizzle: My current mobile phone at least insists on coming out until the iPhone 17 comes out, to see if it can stick to the iPhone 18 out
Previously, Tianfeng International analyst Guo Mingqi had said that Apple's 5G baseband chip would debut in the iPhone model in 2023 as soon as possible. Qualcomm financial officer Akash Palkhiwala also revealed that it is expected that the proportion of Qualcomm 5G baseband chips shipped in 2023 will be reduced to 20%, which also hints at the arrival of Apple's self-developed 5G baseband chips.
As early as 2016, Apple intentionally cultivated Intel baseband chips. In 2019, Apple acquired Intel's mobile phone baseband chip division for $1 billion and obtained 8,500 cellular patents and connected device patents. And now the news that the iPhone 15 will all use self-developed chips undoubtedly confirms Apple's determination to go to Qualcomm. However, it is still too early to officially release the iPhone 15 series, and the news will continue. So if the iPhone 15 is really designed like this, will everyone pay for it?
