The Americal tech big is reported to make a radical transfer with its iPhone 12 lineup this yr. First, these handsets would be the first-ever 5G-ready iPhones from the corporate. Secondly, they’re anticipated to return with out a bundled charger and EarPods.
Now, as per a brand new tip, TSMC will likely be manufacturing 80 million items of 5nm A14 chip for Apple this yr. However this goes towards a latest report, which instructed the Cupertino-based firm to solely ship 15-20 million items of iPhone 12 gadgets in 2020.
So why Apple ordered these many items of A14 chips if it’ll ship lower than half of that quantity of iPhone 12 sequence? Perhaps as a result of the corporate may use the identical chip or say A14X for brand new iPad Execs and ARM Macs.
