SAN JOSE, Calif. — A teardown posted today confirmed Apple put Intel inside at least some of its iPhone 7 handsets, using the x86 giant’s baseband processors acquired from Infineon. The report said Apple used TSMC to make at least some of its A10 Fusion SoCs, probably using its InFO packaging process as well.
