Apple has apparently placed a massive order of more than 100 million A15 Bionic chips with TSMC. Through this, the company might be working on eliminating any issues with supply and components for its upcoming iPhone 13 lineup.
According to new rumors (Via WccFTech), the Cupertino based giant is expecting to see high demands for its 2021 iPhone series and has, thus, asked suppliers to raise production by 20 percent compared to the previous generation iPhone 12. The suppliers include the world’s largest contract chipmaker, TSMC, who will be supplying the iPhone maker with a whopping 100 million units of its custom chipset, as per the recent rumors.
Although, the shipments of A15 Bionic chipsets will not be solely for the upcoming iPhone 13. The company will also reportedly be keeping an extra stock of the latest chipset for any upcoming products. This might include the likes of the iPad Mini 6, which is expected to launch later this year with a redesign. Previous reports had also claimed that the A15 Bionic will power the next iPhone SE as well.
Despite other products also featuring the A15 Bionic chip, the majority of the new processors will be reserved for the iPhone 13 that is expected to see high demand. For those unaware, the A15 will sport a core configuration similar to the A14, with four power efficiency cores and 2 high powered cores. Although, the new chip will feature a new and advanced 5nm process from TSMC.
