The processor, dubbed A13, went into early test production in April and mass-production is planned for as early as this month, the article adds. TSMC has developed a 5-nanometer design infrastructure that could be used to design future A-series chips and other processors.
Of course, processor upgrades almost always give us better performance and efficiency. Expect the 2019 iPhones to be unveiled in September or October.
