2028 IPHONES TO USE 1.4NM A22 PRO CHIPS

Apple continues its aggressive silicon roadmap with high-end 2028 iPhone models set to feature the powerful A22 Pro chip built on TSMC's cutting-edge 1.4nm process.

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, this represents a rapid jump from the 2nm technology planned for 2026 and 2027 models. For dedicated iPhone users who depend on their devices every day, this news signals even greater performance, efficiency, and intelligence packed into the pocket computer we already love.

The transition highlights Apple's commitment to staying ahead in mobile silicon. As longtime users who value seamless experiences across productivity, creativity, photography, and emerging AI features, we know that each process node shrink delivers meaningful real-world benefits. The move to 1.4nm promises to elevate battery life, thermal performance, and on-device capabilities in ways that will feel transformative.

THE CHIP ROADMAP: STEADY PROGRESS TOWARD 1.4NM EXCELLENCE

Current iPhone 17 models run on a refined third-generation 3nm process, providing an excellent balance of power and efficiency for today's demands. The upcoming iPhone 18 series in 2026 will introduce the A20 and A20 Pro chips on TSMC's 2nm technology, marking the first use of gate-all-around nanosheet transistors for better control and efficiency.

The 2027 models are expected to continue with 2nm, potentially an enhanced N2P variant for the A21 series. Then, 2028 brings the exciting leap for flagship devices: the A22 Pro on TSMC’s A14 1.4nm-class node. This timing aligns nicely after the anticipated major redesigns around the iPhone's 20th anniversary in 2027, allowing the 2028 models to refine those innovations with the most advanced chip yet.
