iPhone 12 is the next series of premium mobile phones that the Apple company will launch in the fall of 2020, but today we also have the first very good news about their availability.
The A13 chip that includes the new processor for the iPhone 12 series will go into production sometime in the second part of 2020, that is, exactly as it happens every year with the processors that are implemented in Apple phones.
The iPhone 12 will have a processor also manufactured by TSMC, Apple's old partner that exclusively manufactures all the processors that are included in the phones launched by the Americans every year.
A big technological leap will be made for the new A14 chip, that is, a new 5nm manufacturing procedure will be used instead of the 7nm one used in the A12 and A13 chips launched by Apple in the 2018 and 2019 phones. .
"TSMC will remain Apple's sole foundry partner for chips for its 2020 iPhone series, and volume production using a 5-millimeter EUV process will begin by the end of the second quarter of 2020, according to a Financial Times report in Chinese Language. As much as two-thirds of TSMC's available 5-millimeter process capacity will be used to make next-generation iPhone chips, the report said, citing sources at fab tool makers.
The iPhone 12 should be the first series of phones that will include a 5nm processor, and the Huawei MATE 40 Pro should be the second, a rumor from a few weeks ago announcing that the Chinese are also making a big technological leap.
Apple chose to work exclusively with those from TSMC because they have more advanced technologies than those from Samsung, at least in terms of chip production capacity, and this is seen almost every year.
