Apple Inc. Supplier Putting Finishing Touches on 2018 iPhone Chip Tech
About a year from now, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is expected to launch its next-generation iPhones. Although we don't know that much about them, one thing is certain: They'll be powered by a new generation of custom-designed Apple A-series applications processors, and they'll almost certainly be built using Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (NYSE: TSM) 7-nanometer technology.
This new technology, TSMC says, promises to deliver significant performance, power consumption, and chip area benefits over the 10-nanometer technology that's being used to manufacture Apple's latest A11 Bionic chips, which power the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X smartphones.
