Apple idzakhazikitsa mafoni anayi a iPhone 12 mu theka lachiwiri la 2020. Kuphatikiza pa purosesa ya A14 Bionic yokhala ndi mphamvu zambiri pamakompyuta, imaperekanso modem ya Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 ndikuthandizira Sub-6GHz kokha malinga ndi 5G network ya dziko lililonse, kapena Synchronous thandizo la Sub-6GHz ndi mmWave (millimeter wave). Makampani ogulitsa zida adawonetsa kuti Apple A14 imagwiritsa ntchito 5-nanometer, ndipo Qualcomm X55 imagwiritsa ntchito 7-nanometer. Malangizo oyambira atengedwa ndi TSMC. Pakati pawo, Apple A14 idzayamba kupanga misa kumapeto kwa kotala yachiwiri ndikupanga gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatu a TSMC. Mphamvu ya kupanga 5nm.
Kugwiritsa ntchito ndalama kwa TSMC mu 2019 ndi 2020 kukwera mpaka US $ 14-15 biliyoni, komwe kumagwiritsidwa ntchito kuwonjezera mphamvu ya kupanga 7-nanometer ndikuthandizira kupanga 5-nanometer. Mndandanda wa Apple 11 wa Apple womwe unayambitsidwa mu 2019 anali ndi malonda kuposa momwe amayembekezeredwa. Kuphatikiza apo, mu theka loyambirira la 2020, iPhone SE 2 yotsika mtengo idzakhazikitsidwa ndi purosesa yomweyo ya A13. Zomwe Apple akufuna pa TSMC's 7nm wafer ikupitilira.
Pamene mayiko adzatsegula maukadaulo a foni a 5G mu 2020, Apple 12 ya Apple yomwe idayambitsidwa mu 2020 ithandizira 5G. Nkhani za ma supplement zikuwonetsa kuti Apple ikuyembekezeka kukhazikitsa ma iPhone anayi, kuphatikiza iPhone 12 yokhala ndi 5.4-inch ndi 6.1-inchi OLED, iPhone 12 Pro yokhala ndi 6.1-inch OLED, ndi iPhone Pro Max yokhala ndi 6.7-inch OLED. Pakati pawo, iPhone 12 Pro / Pro Max izikhala ndi magalasi atatu komanso nthawi yothandizira ndege (ToF).
Mitundu yonse ya Apple iPhone 12 ili ndi mapulojekiti ogwiritsira ntchito A14 ndipo idzagwiritsidwa ntchito mozama pogwiritsa ntchito njira ya 5nm ya TSMC. TSMC 5nm yalowa mu gawo lazopanga zoyeserera ndipo adzalowa kupanga misa mu theka loyamba la 2020. Apple ndi Huawei Hisilicon ndiwo makasitomala awiri oyamba. Apple ikuyembekeza kuti iPhone 12 yothandizira 5G idzayendetsa mwamphamvu kufunika kwa iPhone 7/8 ndi ogwiritsa ntchito makina ena akale. Msikawu uli ndi chiyembekezo choti zotumizira zitha kuwona zoposa mamiliyoni 100. Opanga zida amaganiza kuti Apple yatenga kale gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatu a TSMC. Kuchuluka kwa 5nm, kupanga zochulukirapo kudzayamba kumapeto kwa gawo lachiwiri la 2020.
Apple idakwanitsa kukhazikika ndi Qualcomm ndikugula intel smartphone 5G chip chip, koma mndandanda wa iPhone 12 udzakhala wokwanira ndi Qualcomm 5G modem X55. Qualcomm X55 pakadali pano ndi 5G modem chip yomwe imathandizira Sub-6GHz ndi mmWave nthawi imodzi. Apple imathandizira gulu lokhalo limodzi la Sub-6GHz kapena bandiwiri panthawi yomweyo kudzera pakusintha kwa firmware. Chifukwa Qualcomm X55 imagwiritsa ntchito masitepe a TSMC a 7nm, otsogozedwa ndi kufunikira kwamphamvu kwa Apple, Qualcomm yasungira mokwiya buku la 7nm mu 2020, chomwe ndi chimodzi mwazifukwa zazikulu zogwiritsira ntchito TSMC 7nm kuti ikhalebe yodzaza mokwanira m'chigawo choyamba cha chaka.
Chuma chophatikizidwa cha TSMC mu Novembala chakwera ndi 1.7% pamwezi mpaka RMB 10,878.84 biliyoni, zomwe zinali ndalama zanyumba zonse, zomwe zinali zowonjezera pachaka za 9,7%, ndipo ndalama zophatikizidwa m'miyezi 11 yapitayi zidafika pa 966.6672 yuan biliyoni, kuwonjezeka kwa pachaka kwa 2.7%. Wovomerezeka amayembekeza kuti gawo limodzi mwa magawo anayi andalama zonse za TSMC zidzafika patali. Mu gawo loyamba la 2020, ndalama zimangotsika pang'ono ndi 5% chifukwa kuchepa kwa masiku ogwira ntchito. Pambuyo kotala yachiwiri, ifika kotala-kotala kwambiri. Mu theka loyamba la chaka, 2020, ndalama ndi phindu zidzapitiliza kukwera.
