According to a recent report, Apple iPhone 15 Pro models will be the most powerful handsets on the market in 2023. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC, is expected to begin mass production of their rumored 3nm SoC soon. According to the report, the company stated that Apple would be its primary customer for the 3nm processor in 2023. The N3E mobile processor is expected to be available only after Apple releases the iPhone 15 Pro models, whereas Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC could be the first 3nm chip to power an Android phone in 2024.
According to a DigiTimes report, which PhoneArena first spotted, iPhone 15 Pro models will be the most powerful smartphones in 2023. According to the report, Apple will be the primary customer for 3nm chips in 2023, citing TSMC’s N3E production schedule. Meanwhile, the company is expected to deliver the new chip to other smartphone manufacturers in 2024.
According to the report, Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro lineup, which is expected to succeed the iPhone 14 series on September 7, will be the first major smartphone lineup to feature 3nm chips with the Apple A17 Bionic SoC.
According to the report, Android smartphones could be powered by the first 3nm chip in 2024, in the form of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. Unlike Qualcomm, MediaTek is expected to launch 3nm TSMC processors by the end of 2023. According to the report, the new N3E version will not be available in smartphones until Apple unveils the iPhone 15 Pro models. The new 3nm processors are expected to enter mass production in the near future.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently stated that the iPhone 15 will be mass-produced in both India and China at the same time in 2023. Kuo also stated that the iPhone 14 series production in India is six weeks behind schedule compared to China, but that the gap is closing.
On September 7, Apple will host the ‘Far Out’ event. During the launch event, the iPhone 14 series is expected to be unveiled. According to reports, the series will include the vanilla iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. According to a report, the rumoured iPhone 14 Max could be released alongside the iPhone 14 Plus.
