A new report suggested that Apple Mobile Silicon suppliers, TSMC, have started the production of the A15 chipset that will be used in the upcoming iPhone 13 range. It could mean the phone according to the schedule to be released in September.
It has been questioned: deficiency of global chips has been predicted to last until the end of 2022, and a report has suggested that it would affect Apple’s new MacBook and iPad supply – and while the last rumors said the iPhone would not be affected, the iPhone 12 was reported to be influenced by deficiencies component.
For now, however, it looks like it’s all the system goes. The new report comes from Digitime, which also claims that the demand for A15’s bionic chipset will be greater on a scale than A14 which is in the range of iPhone 12. It shows Apple expecting greater sales for the next superior cellphones. And if the A15 chipset started production, which shows the iPhone 13 can come out during the September Apple release window which is normal for its flagship cellphone.
Bad news? Don’t expect wild leaps in the ability of A14 to A15 – the latter should be built in the same 5-nanometer process. We have to wait until at least the iPhone 14 in 2022 for the accompanying chipset with a 4-nanometer process, per fonarena – although rumors also suggest a 3-nanometer chipset is also being developed.
iPhone 13: design, rendering, and more
We have seen the initial rendering of the iPhone 13 suggesting (not surprising) that it will look very similar to the flat-side iPhone 12 design, iPad Pro-Esque.
The latest batch renders supports some previous suspicions that the rear camera, while being placed identical as its predecessor, has a larger lens this time. The dummy unit which should show the final version will have smaller notches, even though it still hasn’t turned to the holes for the front facing camera.
And it’s just a aesthetic side – the iPhone 13 Pro model is also predicted to get a 120Hz refresh speed on its appearance, although it is not clear whether it will be extended to a standard mini model and potential.
