The iPhone 15 Pro might remain ahead of the competition for quite a while if this is true.
However, the jump to the A17 Bionic could be even bigger, with this reportedly having anywhere from 18 billion to 24 billion transistors, depending on which leaks you believe.
More transistors typically means more power and greater power efficiency, so this could result in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max boasting significantly better performance and battery life than other phones.Now, next year it’s likely that Samsung and other Android manufacturers will catch up, especially as a new version of the 3nm production process is reportedly in the works, which would make 3nm chipsets far more affordable.
That suggests we might be waiting longer for a 2nm Snapdragon chipset. Then again, even Apple reportedly won’t benefit until 2025, likely with the launch of the iPhone 17 line, and there’s a chance Samsung could get out ahead with a home-grown 2nm chipset, rather than relying on Snapdragon and TSMC. Either way though, other Android manufacturers could be left trailing behind.Sign up to receive daily breaking news, reviews, opinion, analysis, deals and more from the world of tech.
