Recently, according to the exposure of supply chain practitioners, Apple has booked its 3nm, 4nm and 5nm process chip production capacity from TSMC. In addition, Apple's A16 processor has completed the design finalization, using TSMC 4nm N4P process technology, and has now begun to produce a small amount, and the future A16 processor will be applied to the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. In addition to this, Apple has also booked TSMC's 3nm production capacity for the production of the A17 processor required for the iPhone 15 Pro.
If this rumor is true, the iPhone 14 series will create a precedent for different processors in the same series, before, the iPhone series has always been released at the same time with the same model of processor, at most there is a castrated version, but the relationship between A15 and A16 is more of a generation difference, and the performance will have obvious differences.
