Next-generation chips from Apple partner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. justentered mass production, the company announced on Thursday.
TSMC is also drawing comparisons between its 3nm and 5nm chips when it comes to power consumption.
The A16 Bionic processor that powers the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max is built on a 4-nanometer process.
Assuming Apple keeps the same naming convention, its next iPhone chip will likely be called the A17 Bionic.
Apple usually releases new iPhone models in September.
