It seems that even at a time when the whole world is reeling from the consequences of the coronavirus, they are thinking Apple over how to make life miserable for your competition. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, he recently decided on a rather interesting step, which will definitely not please his competition. Many of them actually made it impossible to use the new 5nm processors in their smartphones.

In the past, we have witnessed many times that Apple has overloaded its supply chain to the point that it was no longer able to cooperate with almost anyone else. Thanks to this, the Californian giant has very cleverly and most importantly painlessly ensured that it will be able to use some technologies exclusively in its products, as it simply will not have anyone to supply them to the competition. This is exactly the case with the new processors built using the 5nm manufacturing process. These have never been in smartphones before.oneare exploited and many companies are therefore competing to see who can break this reality. And this is where the Apple. ProThe processors of its new iPhones 12 are also supposed to be based on the 5nm manufacturing process, but due to the autumn presentation of the new products, it got Apple into a bad position in this race. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, he therefore decided to drastically increase the orders of these processors from his suppliers by up to 40%, thereby de facto blocking the vast majority of competitors who also wanted to use them. 

You may be wondering why the competition simply doesn't choose other suppliers. The answer is very simple - because they simply don't exist. The 5nm mobile processor manufacturing process is technologically very demanding and only a handful of global companies have mastered it on a large scale. Moreover, given the current situation surrounding the coronavirus, a production boom for this type of processor cannot be expected, as the vast majority of factories are more concerned with whether they will be open at all than with what services they will offer their clients. With a bit of exaggeration, it can be said that the situation surrounding the coronavirus is a dead end in terms of the exclusivity of 5nm processors. Applu. What benefits will 5nm processors bring to iPhones 12? You can read here.
