Apple A17 Bionic will generate strong demand for the iPhone 15 Pro line

Reports from Taiwan have revealed that Apple expects a 35% improvement in power efficiency from the A17 Bionic chipset, which is said to have been built by TSMC on the 3nm FinFet process. Insiders revealed that this will be a key feature that will drive “replacement demand” among iPhone users, along with the new camera and USB-C charging port.

Apple is said to have purchased all of TSMC’s early production 3nm chipset, meaning it will be the only smartphone company with such a chipset in 2023. Qualcomm and Mediatek won’t be developing their own solutions for the moment, Mediatek citing “high production costs”. as American society holds back and assesses the situation.

Apple is expected to use the A17 Bionic for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. These phones also feature a refreshed design, a periscope camera, and solid-state volume and power buttons.

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are likely to stick with the A16 Bionic, though they’ll also get the USB-C treatment after the EU effectively forced Apple to ditch the Lightning port.
