Siyaqhubeka namahemuhemu azungeze i-iPhone abezofika ngonyaka we-2017. Njengoba sike sachaza kwesinye isikhathi, inhloso yenkampani yaseCupertino ukwethula izinhlobo zakudala "S" zombili i-iPhone 7 kanye ne-iPhone 7 Plus, ephelezelwa edition ekhethekile yefoni yenkampani ehlakaniphe kakhulu ezohlonipha iminyaka eyishumi yasungulwa. Ngubani owayengacabanga lapho "abahlaziyi" abaningi befanekisela ukufa kwakhe kwasekuqaleni.
Esinye isici esifanelekile ukuthi i-TSMC isalokhu ingumkhiqizi oyedwa wama-processor we-iPhone, ikhulula i-Samsung ezimpikiswaneni zokusetshenziswa kwebhethri. Kulungile Inkampani yaseNyakatho Melika kubukeka sengathi ilungiselela yonke into ukuqala ngomkhiqizo omkhulu weprosesa ye-A11 ngenyanga ka-Ephreli.
Ukwehliswa akulindelekile futhi, kusuka ku-16nm weprosesa yamanje ye-A10 efakwe amafoni amanje, kufaka phakathi inguqulo ebomvu ye-iPhone 7, kuze kufike ku-10nm ekhangayo. Ngokusho kokuvuza, iprosesa izokwenziwa kusetshenziswa inqubo yeFinFET, ngakho-ke sizoqonda ukuthi i-A11 izophinda ibe uhlelo lwe- "fusion" lweprosesa, elenziwe ngezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zobuchwepheshe, ngenhloso hhayi yokonga isikhala kuphela, kodwa futhi nokonga Amandla.
I-iPhone 8 entsha enesikrini se-OLED izoba nale processor, ngaphandle kokungabaza, noma kunjalo, ngeke ikhetheke kuphela, ngokusobala izinhlelo ze "s" ze-iPhone 7 ezizayo nayo izoyifaka, okusenza sicabange ukuthi ibhethri, isikrini kanye ukuklama kuzoba ukuphela komehluko ophawulekayo phakathi kwezinketho i-Apple ezonikeza abasebenzisi bayo phakathi nenyanga kaSepthemba, okuzosenza sicabangele ngokungathi sína ukuthi kuzofanele yini ukusebenzisa imali engaphezu kwe- € 1.000 ukuthola le nguqulo «ekhetheke kangaka», Noma ngokuphambene Izosizakala ngentengo yama-iPhone 7, iyinciphise kancane uma iqhathaniswa ne-iPhone 7 ngosuku lokwethulwa kwayo. Amaprosesa we-A50 wezigidi ezingama-11 alindele ukuthi azokwazi ukukhiqiza i-TSMC, awekho ambalwa.
