Apple Partner TSMC Unveils Advanced 1.4nm Process for 2028 Chips

Cool, I like progress and advancements. But yeah....gimme better battery life and battery longevity. I think it's o.k. to ask for tech companies to walk and chew gum at the same time.

2027 will be the most interesting year in this respect.

2023 = N3 (FinFlex) = Apple A17/M3
2024 = N3E (FinFlex) = Apple A18/M4
2025 = N3P (FinFlex) = Apple A19/M5
2026 = N2 (NanoFlex) = Apple A20/M6
2027 = N2P (NanoFlex) and/or Å16
2028 = Å14 (NanoFlex Pro)

Å16 introduces Super Power Rail (back side power delivery). We don’t know which node Apple will use in 2027, maybe both?

Would apple sell a new iPhone with the same speed as last years, the same capacity and just tout 30% longer battery life?

Actually, I think they could make that work, with the right marketing.

Have one. Don’t love the extra cost/bulk/weight. A happy medium would be 15% gains in both power and battery.

It’s not a perfect world. We can’t have both. I also use a Meko W5 2715mah Power Bank. But I use Fast Charging instead of MagSafe. It gets the job done

Good to hear about this but not sure whether any consumer devices will have a 1.4nm chip in 2028. Might be a bit later. Expecting to see 3 years at 2nm.
