Possibly to prevent any iPhone XI model being delayed, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has started production of the new A13 chip for Apple’s next line of iPhones, according to people close to this information. The SoC has been dubbed A13, and it went into early test production in April and mass-production is planned for as early as this month. The new silicon is not going to be paired with a 5G modem, as Apple just recently partnered with Qualcomm, so the first 5G-ready iPhone will most likely launch next year.
Codenames for the New iPhone XI Models Also Leaked
According to a report from Bloomberg, Apple will be launching three new models this year, corroborating earlier reports. Two of them will succeed the iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max, while the third one will be an update to the iPhone XR. The higher-end models are codenamed D43 and D44, but it hasn’t been specified which model these names belong to. As for the iPhone XR successor, it is internally codenamed N104, according to people familiar with the matter.
The report also states that while all three models are expected to look similar to their predecessors, the biggest visible change will be seen at the back. That’s where the primary cameras are located and for the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max successors, there’s expected to be a triple-rear camera setup that will most likely provide improved optical zoom and access to a wide-angle lens. The iPhone XR successor, on the other hand, is expected to feature a dual-camera at the back.
Apple is reportedly also working on an auto-correction feature that helps to fit people back into a photo who may have been accidentally cut out. The secondary camera on the iPhone XR will support telephoto imaging, but the exact number on how much the user can zoom into the object is yet to be reported. As for the dimensions, the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max successors are expected to be about half a millimeter thicker, according to one of the people, and the back camera array will fit into a square on the top left. The squarish part at the back will act as a hump, with the cameras expected to sit flush with that square.
All three iPhones have earlier been reported to support reverse wireless charging, a technology that’s supported on the Galaxy S10 series, and Huawei’s P30 Pro. Apple will most likely attempt to improve reverse wireless charging on all three iPhones so it actually appears to be a useful feature rather than a gimmick. iPhone XI Max renders were earlier leaked as well, giving us a better glimpse of how the iPhone XS Max is expected to look, along with some case renders of the 5.8-inch iPhone XI.
Apple is expected to launch its newest iPhones in September of this year, so we’ll have more information to share with you down the road, so stay tuned.
