Unveiling Future Developments in the iPhone Lineup
Though the iPhone 17 series is still set to launch in approximately six months, speculation regarding the upcoming iPhone 18 series has already started circulating.
Insights from Analysts on Upcoming A20 Chip Technology
In a recent analysis shared by investment firm GF Securities, expert Jeff Pu revealed that the anticipated A20 chip for the forthcoming iPhone 18 models will be produced using TSMC’s latest third-generation three-nanometer fabrication process, dubbed N3P. This is indeed the same technology expected to power both the A19 and A19 Pro chips within this year’s iPhone 17 lineup. Consequently, we might see only marginal performance enhancements when comparing these new models to their predecessors.
However, Pu highlighted one notable advancement with the A20 chip—enhanced capabilities for Apple’s intelligence features. He noted that this chip will integrate TSMC’s Chip on Wafer on Substrate (CoWoS) packaging technology, which promises improved synergy between various components such as its processor, unified memory system, and Neural Engine.
If these details hold true, it’s projected that Apple won’t unveil its first chip utilizing TSMC’s sophisticated two-nanometer technology until at least the introduction of the A21 chipset in late 2027.
