With a month having passed after Apple's iPhone 11 launch, it's time to safely conclude that Huawei retains the bragging rights of using the world's first EUV-fabricated smartphone processor. Before this year's iPhone launch, it was speculated that the Cupertino tech giant might give in to the need of competing with Huawei for TSMC's expensive fabrication node. But now, it's becoming increasingly probable that we'll get an EUV design on Apple's An chips next year; a design fabricated on 5nm. Today's report further boosts the chances of this happening and provides a hint about the Apple A14. Take a look below for more details.

Over the course of time, Apple's developed its own processor microarchitecture for chips as complex as the A13 and as simple as the H1. The Cupertino tech giant loves customization, and designing its own processors enables the company to tightly control how its products perform and how this performance can be modified through software.
