What does this mean for buyers? It means that the 2020 iPhones, sporting a brand new 5nm A-14 Bionic chip, will be faster and more efficient than the current models because the body of the chip will be smaller than the current 7nm process used in today’s iPhones, and transistors will be positioned closer together. Among the benefits predicted for the new 5nm chip is better performance accompanied by 5G and artificial intelligence integration. It has been widely speculated that Apple’s 2020 iPhone models will be 5G compatible. It looks like TSMC will again be Apple’s sole supplier for new iPhone chips, with the next iteration predicted to be… Read full this story
