Apple is set to announce its new iPhone XS and its bigger plus-sized variant at its September 12 Gather Round event. While a lot more is expected from the event, we have also come to know that the company will have a technical advantage over other smartphones to launch this year. It looks like the company will have a potential lead as it moves to a 7nm process for the A12 chip powering the forthcoming flagship iPhones. Let’s dive in to see some more details on the matter.

As per supply chain sources, most Android manufacturers will not be able to adopt the 7nm chipsets in their smartphones. According to a report from Digitimes, four major chipmakers have delayed or put the technology on hold for Android smartphone manufacturers due to high costs.
