The iPhone 6S will only be released in September next year, and the development process of the future Apple smartphone has already begun, with Samsung already delivering the first A9 chips with triple-core processors produced using a 14nm manufacturing process using FinFET technology . Although it tried to get rid of its dependence on those from Samsung, Apple needs the Korean company to produce all the dedicated A9 chips iPhone 6S, the Asian press claiming that Samsung will be the only supplier of this component.
Samsung is now only delivering a first phase of A9 chips for testing with iPhone 6S prototypes, and since the iPad Air 2 has a triple-core processor with 2GB of RAM, it's hard to believe that we'll find anything else in the iPhone 6S, even if for now there are no rumors to confirm this. The production of this component started in a Samsung factory in Austin, Texas, during the day yesterday, so Apple will quickly receive its A9 chips in its laboratories in Cupertino.
iPhone 6S – A9 chip produced by Samsung
The information regarding the production of this chip A9 for iPhone 6S was offered by Dr. Kinam Kim, the president and general manager of Samsung's semiconductor division, he arguing that the profit of the division will increase significantly based on the collaboration. During this year, the first information appeared suggesting that Samsung will manufacture the new A9 chips by the end of this year, but it was never specified when the first components would be delivered to Cupertino.
Samsung currently supplies approximately 40% of the A8 chips for the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and iPad Air 2, but it is not known what percentage Samsung will get in the contract for the manufacture of the future A9 chip, although it seems that more than half of components will be produced by Koreans. Having said that, the iPhone 6S will have a chip produced by a very important old partner, and confirmations regarding the implementation of a triple-core processor and 2 GB of RAM will come next year.
