Apple last week introduced the flagship iPhone 14 family, which for the first time was also divided by chipset criterion: iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus with 5nm A15 Bionic, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max with 4nm A16 Bionic. Sales will only start tomorrow, but talks about the future of the series have already begun. The Nikkei, citing sources familiar with the situation, reports that Apple has begun development of the A17 Bionic based on the second generation of 3nm N3E architecture from TSMC, which is scheduled for release in the second half of next year (just starting with the iPhone 15). It is also reported that the same technologies will receive M3 chipsets for Mac computers.

Earlier it was reported that the first generation of TSMC’s 3nm architecture will also be first tested by Apple, in the new generation of iPad Pro (expected to be announced in October), the next generation of Qualcomm and MediaTek should also receive this approach. TSMC and Samsung will be the first to start production of 3nm hardware, but it is the Taiwanese who are called the shadow leader in this area.
