The new chip for this year's iPhones is being manufactured using an improved 5nm process, which was first used in the production of the A14 Bionic chip. This chip is used in last year's iPads Air and iPhones of the 12 series. The exact details of what the A15 chip will be able to do are still under wraps, but we can certainly look forward to, for example, significant improvements in performance and increased speed of the device, and of course, significantly higher energy efficiency. The introduction and start of sales of last year's iPhones were marked by the coronavirus pandemic, or rather related measures. Because of them, there were mass closures of factories and suspension of their operations, so the introduction of the iPhones was postponed to October instead of the traditional September date. This year, however, a number of experts, including the well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, assume that Apple will return to the traditional scheme, and the iPhones will be introduced in September, as we are used to. This theory is also suggested by the aforementioned report about TSCM's plans to start distributing A15 chips. As for the appearance of this year's iPhones, some sources claim that they should be equipped with a slightly smaller cutout at the top of the display. The high-end models should reportedly see ProMotion displays with a refresh rate of 120Hz and always-on There is also talk of the return of matte black or a fingerprint sensor located under the display glass.
