I can't believe they named a phone X[s]. How can they not see everyone calling it "iPhone excess?"
I can’t believe they didn’t call the Xs Max - XL instead. I mean they have an XS and an XL size...
If the new Apple processor is actually 7nm fab, that means that Apple is performing at a higher level of execution than basically everyone else in silicon land. Intel just failed spectacularly at shipping 10nm and TSMC is just beginning to do 7nm production hypothetically (I don't think any major production runs have been announced yet, but please correct me if I'm wrong). If Apple is shipping 7nm in iPhones, that's…
7nm on a (relatively) small ARM is also a different world to 7nm on a chip the size of the latest Intel's.
The "super retina" designation doesn't refer to PPI, right? Seems like 458 isn't that much higher than past models, if at all. Is "super" just a reference to the increased color gamut and true tone functionality?
Going from >300ppi to >400ppi probably warrants a special mention.

Actually Global Foundries just announced they are abandoning 7nm for the short term.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It is not easy to get any FDA approval. Companies go bankrupt after spending millions and still don't get approved.
When you have more money than the government that’s no so much of a problem.

TSMC is Apple's sole fabricator for their A series chips so they must be able to make 7nm chips.

7nm != 7nm - there's a lot of variety between processes. 7nm on a (relatively) small ARM is also a different world to 7nm on a chip the size of the latest Intel's.
