Who will Manufacture Apple's Next SoC?
August 11, 2014
Just to review: The brain inside the current Apple iPhone 5s is the A7 SoC manufactured by Samsung using a 28nm process. The A6 (iPhone 5) and A5 (iPhone 4s) are based on Samsung 32nm.

In order to properly postulate which process the Apple A9 will use let me share with you my observations, opinions, and experience on the topic.
