Recently, Dan Ives, an analyst at Wall Street securities firm Wedbush, issued a memo to clients related to new iPhone forecasts.

Apple is expected to release a new generation of iPhone this fall, which is said to maintain the same size as last year iPhone 12 and launch four models. In terms of appearance design, the new phone continues the design style of the previous generation and is a minor facelift. The most obvious changes include reducing the notch area and installing a camera module with a larger sensor.

leaker Sonny Dickson posted a picture on Twitter, which is suspected to be four models of the new iPhone. It can be seen from the picture that is the successor model of the entry-level iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini. The biggest difference is the rear camera module. The lens arrangement of the new iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini (tentative name) adopts a new "diagonal" arrangement.

As for the Pro high-end models equipped with "triple cameras": iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, Sonny Dickson said that the camera module area will be slightly larger than that of the previous generation, and the lens will also become more protruding. However, since there is no direct comparison between the two generations of products, it is difficult to see the difference from the photos.

Based on recent rumors and reports, this year’s high-end iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max will have further improvements in camera shooting performance: they will be equipped with an ultra-wide-angle lens upgraded to a 6P lens group, and will add autofocus and lidar. to improve focus and enhance night shooting effects.

As the most important part of new phone production and market launch, it is very important to ensure the supply of A15 chips. Especially in the current global "chip shortage" environment, various companies are striving to obtain priority chip supply.

According to the Taiwanese technology industry media "DigiTimes": TSMC Due to the global chip market being in short supply, shipment orders need to be adjusted. Only Apple can still obtain TSMC's supply guarantee, which will not affect the launch of new iPhone products at the end of the year.

The famous American technology website "Wccftech" stated that the processors of Apple's new iPhone, iPad, and Mac are rumored to use TSMC's 4nm and 3nm processes, including undisclosed A15 and M1X chips. Reports suggest that Apple has obtained shipments of TSMC's 4nm process and part of its 3nm process. Although Qualcomm has also obtained some shipment orders from TSMC, due to chip shortages and production problems, Qualcomm may be forced to transfer some orders to Samsung. .

It is reported that TSMC is actively preparing a new N5P advanced process, which is an improved version of the 5nm process. It may first be used in processors from other manufacturers, such as Intel, AMD, while Apple's A15 Bionic chip will use the more advanced 4nm , 3nm process.
