TSMC to be Exclusive Manufacturer of A10 Processor for iPhone 7?

TSMC is again predicted to be the exclusive manufacturer of Apple's A10 processor for the iPhone 7.

CTIMES News relays a report from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo:

Guo Ming-qi stated that the next-generation iPhones — presumably an iPhone 7 and 7 Plus production will begin in the third quarter next year. And its A10 processor is using a 16-nanometer process, the chip is said to use the company’s state-of-the-art InFO (integrated fan out) architecture, said to be mass-produced in March, 2016 offering advantages such as cutting costs and streamlining manufacturing.


The new architecture could allow Apple to switch to a system-in-package arrangement, similar to the S1 manufactured for the Apple Watch. This could improve efficiency and take up less space in the device.

Recent reports have suggested that the iPhone 7 could arrive earlier than usual but those reports have yet to be corroborated. Apple is said to have already placed LCD Driver IC orders from Synaptics.
