Like every year, as we prepare for a new iPhone series in September this year, new information about this series keeps coming. The new information shared by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo indicated that Apple is lagging behind its competitors by one point. Kuo shared the roadmap of chipmaker TSMC and the new iPhones will not switch to up-to-date technology showed.

According to the shared information, it concerns the A16 Bionic chipset, which will be included in the new iPhone 14 series, unlike MediaTek, Qualcomm and Samsung. It is not produced with 4nm technology† The new chips will continue to use TSMC’s existing 5nm technology. For example, Apple will have used 5nm technology in the last three iPhone series.

Well what does it mean? How much will the performance in the new iPhone series be?

On the other hand, according to Kuo, 4nm technology offers no performance advantage over 5nm technology. But Apple’s use of the same technology is another of the iPhone series this year. we will see less performance gain can mean. Because sticking to current technology puts the improvements in performance and energy efficiency at a dead end after a while. On the other hand, since it is not known to what extent Apple can push this limit, it is not possible to say anything definitive at this time.

There’s one more thing you should know about Apple’s A16 Bionic chipset. According to previously disclosed information, Apple has released the new chipset. only on iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models will present. iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max, the new member of iPhone phones, will continue to use the iPhone 13 chipset.
