iPhone 14 might get a major chip upgrade, according to reports

[Chris Smith]

The iPhone’s most important competitive advantage over Android rivals remains Apple's custom silicon. Every year, benchmark and real-time use comparisons highlight the iPhone’s considerable advantage over same-year devices. And it’s often that the previous-generation iPhone version is the second-best alternative when it comes to power. For example, tests last year showed the iPhone 12’s A14 Bionic outperformed every other 2020 handset. But even the A13 chip inside the iPhone 11 models outclassed the 2020 Androids in the same speed tests.

This fall’s iPhone 13 models are expected to offer a faster, more energy-efficient System-on-Chip (SoC) than the iPhone 12 phones. That’s the A15 Bionic that TSMC will mass-produce for Apple. But the A15 Bionic will be built on the same 5nm process as the A14, albeit on enhanced technology. Making smaller and smaller transistors is increasingly more challenging, but news from Asia indicates that TSMC will soon begin manufacturing 4nm and 3nm chips. The latter might go into next year’s iPhones, and they’ll likely power Apple’s M-series SoC found inside Apple’s Macs.
