Computer and phone performance in general is constantly moving forward. Apple currently relies primarily on A14 Bionic chips for mobile devices, while pushing the M1 for Macs. Both are based on the 5nm production process and therefore offer enough performance, in some cases even too much. Anyway, it definitely doesn't end here. For a long time there have been talks about further reduction of the production processor, which will be taken care of by chip manufacturer TSMC, one of Apple's leading suppliers. He plans to introduce a 3nm production process. According to DigiTimes, such chips could enter iPhones and Macs as early as the second half of next year.

Recall the stellar performance of the M1 chip:

DigiTimes is reportedly drawing on its supply chain resources in this case. The mass production of chips with the 3nm production process should therefore start in the second half of next year, thanks to which the iPhone 14 could theoretically be equipped with this component. Of course, it is also highly probable that Apple computers will also see it. Already around June, information began to accumulate on the Internet about the preparations of the giant TSMC for the production of chips with a 3nm production process. This time, however, it is already being talked about as a done deal, so it is only a matter of time before the whole process starts.

In any case, the earlier news informed about something a little different. According to them, Apple has pre-ordered the production of 4nm Apple Silicon chips for its Macs. However, no deadline was added to this report, so it is not clear whether or when the transition will actually take place.
