tht said: I’m confused. Why? Maybe they add the cell modem as another die in an A-series package? And is this WMCM tech is the same as TSMC’s CoWoS packaging tech? That’s not cheap. No, I think it is different from CoWoS — I’m not su…

The only thing that is very, very remotely “possible” about this is the hardware might be stolen, but the packaging is plainly fake, and not even a quality fake I don’t know what a preview Mac16,1 running Sequoia would say in About This Mac, but t…

TSMC has always said “2H 2025” for the start of volume production of N2. Any early reports that it would be used for a September 2025 product like iPhone 17 were always fantasy. Interesting that Kuo thinks A20 Pro/M6 on N2 in 2026 will parallel A17…

tht said: Each Mac is a base-level version of a machine equipped with an M4 chip. Of the four, three have 10 total cores in their CPUs, while one lower-end has eight cores. Hmm, for different Mac product lines or 4 options in 1 or 2 M4 Mac pr…

Mac4mac said: It’s funny how Apple (TSMC) has been making M4 chips for months now, and only the iPad has been released that is using it…. Why? My guess is that Apple is using the M4 chips that it’s making and putting them into the specialise…

Apple has been quietly stabilizing the cadence. MacBook Pro is on an annual cycle now. That is unlikely to change. M4 Ultra will come in March. Every Mac will have M4 by then, except MacBook Air, which will skip M4 and go straight to M5 in May or J…

blastdoor said: N2 production would need to start in the first half of 2025 for apple to get it into the 2025 iPhones. I had assumed that wouldn’t happen, but some other stories made it sound like it could. A combination of good luck and lot…

blastdoor said: The vast majority of iPhone generations have used the same SOC across all models in the generation. I suspect the recent aberrations may have been due to TSMC constraints. The timing/yields/costs of N3E might allow apple to r…

This is compatible with the other report saying there will be an A18 and an A18 Pro — just look at, for example, the current MacBook Pro identifiers, all start with 15, regardless of whether they have M3, M3 Pro, or M3 Max… So all iPhone 16 identif…
