Rumors have been announcing for a while that the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max for the next school year will be the first to adopt the 3 nm engraving process from the Taiwanese founder TSMC for their A17 Bionic chip.
3nm chip production, Apple buy 100% of the production
The improvements linked to this processor will be such that many iPhone owners would wish to replace their current device with the new model. That's what Apple's component suppliers in Asia claim. This first generation of 3 nm chips from TSMC should offer 35% improved energy consumption compared to the previous 5 nm model that equips the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. Apple has reportedly pre-empted 100% of initial orders for first-generation 3nm chips, suggesting that rivals like Samsung would rather wait for prices to drop as the market looks bleak for Android smartphones in 2023.
