The Apple A16 Bionic chip was introduced with the introduction of the Pro models of the iPhone 14 series earlier this year. Now, a recent report suggests that Apple will include its new chipset, the Apple A17, in the iPhone 15 series Pro model.
With this chip, it is believed that Apple places more of an emphasis on extending battery life than on performance. Apple is probably going to utilize Taiwan Semiconductor Assembling Organization’s (TSMC) 3nm cycle to make the Apple A17 chip.
According to a recent MySmartPrice report, the iPhone 15 series’ Apple A17 chip may contribute to longer battery life. This hypothesis originates from the tales that recommend TSMC’s 3nm cycle would bring about chips that deal expanded power and further developed energy productivity.
According to reports, TSMC chairman Mark Liu stated that the 3nm process chips would have better performance than the 5nm process chips while consuming 35% less power. It’s possible that TSMC’s 3nm chips’ vague statement about power and somewhat specific estimate of battery life will give us an idea of what to expect.
This 3nm Apple A17 chip is anticipated to be included in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models. In the meantime, the Apple A16 Bionic chipset might be added to the non-Pro model. Additionally, the iPhone 15 series might see an increase in RAM. They might have 8GB of RAM as opposed to the 6GB that the iPhone 14 phones have.
Sony’s cutting-edge image sensor may also be included in Apple’s iPhone 15 smartphones. It is anticipated that this sensor will provide twice as much saturation signal level per pixel as a standard sensor. It may also be able to capture more light, thereby reducing images’ over or underexposure.
