According to a paid preview report to be released by DigiTimes, the chips that provide computing power for the next-generation iPhone will be based on a 4-nanometer process, which is more sophisticated than the 5-nanometer process used in the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 lineups. Last year, Apple adopted a 5-nanometer process A14 bionic chip in the latest iPad Air and iPhone 12 series. The iPhone 13, uses an enhanced iteration of the 5-nanometer process.
The smaller process reduces the physical size of the chip and provides better performance and higher energy efficiency. A report from The Information yesterday stated that TSMC and Apple are facing technical challenges in producing 3-nanometer chips, which may be a reason why the iPhone 14 will adopt a 4-nanometer process.
A separate report earlier this year showed that Apple has booked all the production capacity of TSMC’s 3nm process, which may make its debut in the iPhone 15 and next-generation Apple Silicon Mac computers in a few years.
