Next iPhone A12 chip with 7nm design production has started.

Apple next trio of smartphones might arrive this fall with new 7nm chips so called A12. Maybe not the 3 of them but at least  2 of the new models of the iPhone X with OLED display.

Actual iPhone 8/8+ and iPhone X have a 10 nm chip.

The 7nm chips are more capable,  help smartphones run apps faster and last longer before having to be recharged, key advantages in a competitive industry .

The new chips are made by TSMC for Apple and its production has already started.

Samsung is also thinking to include its new 7nm chips for its new smartphones.
