If there is no surprise, and everything seems to indicate that there will not be, the iPhone 7 It will be released in September 2016. Apple's main supply chain partners are already preparing internally and reserving production capacity to make the next iPhone. To be more specific and according to DigiTimes, Cirrus Logic and Analog Devices are planning to dedicate an important part of their operations for what until now we know as iPhone 7.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, better known as TSMC, would also be preparing to produce more A10 processors, a component that, as usual, is usually presented together with the new iPhone and later is also included (or its AX variant, as is the case with the iPad Pro and will be for the iPad Air 3) in the iPad that until last year was presented in October. TSMC has been ramping up 16nm FinFET production, but they will switch to fan-out (InFO) with waterproof technology and begin mass production in Q2016 XNUMX.
First steps to make the iPhone 7
DigiTimes is not one of the media that most accurately predicts, but Cirrus Logic y Analog Devices if they have come to provide advance and accurate information on partnerships and launches in the past. In addition, DigiTimes sources will play an important role that will allow the iPhone 7 to be even thinner than the iPhone 6s, a trend that I personally neither understand nor share, and less while they do not use other types of batteries that are capable of providing greater autonomy. .
According to rumors, Analog Devices will be the supplier of some of the components of the dual lens camera with optical image stabilization and optical zoom that will allow iPhone 7 to get higher quality images. The worst thing about this rumor is that it ensures that only the Plus model (or a higher-end Plus model) will be the one that uses this dual camera. In any case, we are still in February and it is too early to start thinking about the iPhone 7, don't you think?
