In addition to the general signal, the iPhone13 has a near-perfect performance in other aspects, which also makes fruit fans begin to look forward to the next generation of iPhones, that is, iPhone 14.
From the currently exposed news, the iPhone14 will be equipped with A16 chip, the appearance of the Pro series may be upgraded, and the hardware such as pixels and lens modules will also be improved to a certain extent. Among them, the 4nm process technology used by A16 is an enhanced version of N4P, and the performance is 6% higher than the first generation of 4nm, 11% higher than 5nm, the transistor density is also increased, and the energy efficiency ratio is increased by 22%. If the actual performance is not much different from the theoretical data, then A16 will undoubtedly reign again.

TSMC sent news, and Apple had to obediently bow its head

TSMC, currently the world's largest wafer foundry, has a position in the industry that is second to none, and Apple, as TSMC's largest order customer, is also self-evident in its importance to TSMC. With the further heating up of the global core shortage, TSMC has sent news of price increases.
According to the news, TSMC's 5nm and 4nm chip production capacity has been increasing at present, at the same time, TSMC has also increased the foundry price of chips, even if it is as strong as Apple, in the face of TSMC also have to obediently bow its head. The A16 chip of the 4nm process is naturally also in the range of price increases.
Fruit powder should be mentally prepared, iPhone14 may not be so "conscience"
With the rise in the foundry price of A16 chips, Apple will obviously not bear all this additional expenditure by itself, so it will inevitably increase the price of the iPhone, such as the iPhone 14 series. This is undoubtedly bad news for many fans who have not chosen to start the iPhone13, after all, everyone wants to buy a better experience with less money.
And this year's iPhone 14 has been upgraded in a number of hardware configurations, personally believe that price increases will become an inevitable situation, so fruit fans this time or to be mentally prepared, after all, Cook is not a philanthropist, but let Apple's market value soar to the world's first businessman.
