The A19 chip in this year's iPhone 17 family has turned out to be fairly powerful, and next year's A20 processors could be even better, especially if the chip moves to a 2nm process as anticipated. Unfortunately, that extra power could come at a higher cost.

A leaker on Weibo, Mobile Phone Chip Expert (MPCE), posted potential plans for next year's iPhone 19 series. According to the post, the new chip will be built on TSMC's 2nm process which should make for a more efficient and powerful chipset, as it will mean more densely packed transistors than the 3nm A19 chipset found in the current iPhones.

The standard A20 chip is tipped for the base iPhone 18, while the high-end A20 Pro processor is meant for the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max and the rumored iPhone Fold.
