Apple's 'sweetheart deal' will turn the iPhone 15 Pro into a nightmare for Android
Longtime iPhone fans know TSMC has been the exclusive maker of A-series and M-series chips for the iPhone and Mac. What’s different this year is that TSMC inked a special deal with Apple that spells trouble for Android vendors. That’s because the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max will feature the A17 Bionic chip built on TSMC’s new 3nm process. The upcoming M3 chip will also run be a 3nm chip.
That said, TSMC will undoubtedly benefit massively from this deal. Apple is its biggest customer, and the iPhone maker will pay handsomely for all the 3nm chips that TSMC can mass-produce.We’ve reached a point where a handset like the Nothing Phone does admirably when it comes to performance despite rocking the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip from the second half of 2022. This is hardly the iPhone 15 Pro killer when it comes to power.
It’s not about saying you’ve got a 3nm processor powering your latest Android flagship. It’s showing what it can do to rival the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. And it won’t even be about performance, as the A17 Bionic’s best feature might be efficiency. Or great battery life that others might struggle to match.
