Production and launch of new iPhone models can change at any time due to the impact of the COVID-19 virus, but with little news it turns out that not all plans have been reduced. DigiTimes reports (and MacRumors show) that Most production of A14 chips to be handled by iPhone 12 will begin in April.
More performance and more efficiency with 5nm transistors
TSMC would take care of this product, as it has been leaking in the past, as well as chips. they will have a 5nm structure. That means that in the same area we can have more transistors, which will mean greater performance with more or less use of the same power.
It does not appear that at TSMC they were severely affected by the coronavirus, because typically the production of chips for the new iPhone introduced in September begins in April or May. Also, some parts of those iPhone's and their last assembly line are delayed, because factories are still finding labor restrictions imposed by China in recent weeks.
IPhone 12 they will carry iOS 14 preinstalled, a program that is due to be launched in June and we already have enough information to thank for the 9to5Mac leak. There are still months ahead, so the best thing to do when waiting for that new model is to renew the patience.
