What is inside the iPhone5s? Samsung or TSMC?
As a semiconductor professional and an Apple customer I’m very interested to see what is inside the iPhone5s. Rumors are spreading, photos are leaking, creating a nice build up to the next release of the mobile device that changed the world.
Honestly, last year I was a bit disappointed with the iPhone5. Inside is the A6 SoC which uses the Samsung 32nm process technology, even though Samsung announced a fully qualified 28nm process in June of 2011 (Can Samsung Deliver?). As a result, rumors swirled that Apple would switch to TSMC 28nm, rumors which I found to be false (TSMC Apple Rumors Debunked). So no, sad to say the iPhone5s will not have a TSMC 28nm SoC. My guess is that it will be Samsung 28nm which is said to be in production now.
