as expected iPhone 15 There is a price increase compared to the devices that Apple introduced in September. It’s normal. However, on this occasion, the increase was not expected to be as strong as in the current terminal. However, according to the emerging information, it seems that those who want to seize one of the North American company’s mobile phones next year will have to spend a good amount of money.
And one of the biggest culprits for this to happen is, processor The iPhone 15 will have (at least the Pro version, of course). This is precisely because the production prices of these components will undoubtedly double. And it’s not because they decided to charge more for the same thing in Asia, no. This has to do with technology that will use chips that will power Apple devices and will obviously be more powerful and at the same time much more energy efficient.
TSMC takes an evolutionary leap to impact the iPhone 15
This Taiwanese processor manufacturer has decided not to lag behind the technology it uses while producing wafers. This will jump to: three nanometers, so it matches what Samsung is doing. It’s easy to think that Apple would make it mandatory for the iPhone 15 to keep up with the possibility of including much more transistors in the same space (which would directly improve performance). And it turns out more expensive like logic.
Therefore, more processors than possible Apple A17 BionicWhat would be integrated into the new iPhone would offer a greater working capacity without affecting consumption (not heat produced). And all this is due to the 3nm manufacturing technology that TSMC will use – which in principle will be almost the only supplier of these components for the company with the bitten apple. Meanwhile, the increase in production cost is sure to affect those of Cupertino as well. attributed to buyers in one way or another. At least that’s how it has always been.
No specific data on the rise
Obviously, this is not specifically known, but what the source of information states is that TSMC’s idea was to take charge. each wafer is about $20,000, for $16,000 for those using the 5 nanometer technology. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to consider a minimum of 100 euros per unit for models using new Apple processors. Not bad, all that has to be said (and not counting other price-increasing options, such as using titanium as the manufacturing material for part of the case).
The truth is that the price increase seems to appear inevitable It’s for the iPhone 15, and in this case, it’s from TSMC… but it involves Apple directly. And given what’s happened this year, it seems that those in Cupertino are not considering charging more for their new phones. Where is the border?
