Apple It is only now starting to sell. iPhone 6 and other news, but despite this, the company has already focused on the development of the next generation iPhone, which will probably start to be sold under the labels iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. But let's leave the names of the phones aside and see what will be hidden inside them. As we know them, inside the next generation iPhone processors will be located Apple A9, which should be manufactured using a 16-nm or 14-nm FinFET process, but it is not yet certain which company will manufacture it.
Production could be split again between Samsung and TSMC, while in the case Apple A9 could be Samsung's dominant position. The latter can easily produce processors using the 14-nm process, while TSMC, according to available reports, has only started preparing for production using the 16-nm process. Apple could therefore choose Samsung almost immediately, but between them and Appfracture is still dominated by tension and pre Apple it would be more beneficial if he transferred to TSMC. So the battle between two manufacturers of processors for the future begins iPhone and Samsung has already proposed various benefits that could convince Apple about staying away from him. More precisely, he should have offered him a lower price, and at the same time he wants to produce other products for him, such as Flash memories, or he wants to perform optimization.
