The A17 chip for next year's high-end models of the iPhone 15 lineup could be more efficient thanks to the use of newer 3nanometer chip process technology.
The A17 Bionic is expected to be the smallest chip Apple will make in the future. The A16 Bionic chip uses TSMC's 4nanometer process, which offers improved efficiency and performance compared to the A15 chip based on the 5nanometer process from the year prior.
The chairman of TSMC says the new process will require less power and provide better performance than the previous process, according to a report. The upcoming M2 Pro and M2 Max chips are expected to be used by Apple, according to reports.
According to a report last week, Apple faced new challenges in the development of the A16 chip. According to the report, Apple had more aggressive plans to improve the chip's graphics capabilities. The A16 Bionic's chip overheated and that led to poor battery life. Last year's A15 chip was used in Apple's new plans.
The lack of a more advanced GPU in the A16 Bionic chip could mean we see more considerable improvements with the A17 Bionic chip on high end iPhone 15 models next year. For the first time, Apple gave the higher-end Pro models the A16 chip instead of the older A15 chip in the lower-end models. The rest of the lineup will use the A16 chip, while the higher-end models will use the A17 chip.
We are expecting improvements with the cameras, including a periscope lens, as well as the expansion of Dynamic Island to all models of the lineup. Everything we know about the new phone can be found in our summary.
