Every silicon cycle promises incremental gains in speed and efficiency, but Apple’s upcoming A20 Pro could mark a genuine architectural leap. As we head into Apple's “Surprise and Shine” event this week in Cupertino, all eyes are locked on the iPhone Ultra and iPhone 18 Pro Max — and specifically, whether the shift to TSMC’s rumored 2-nanometer process lives up to expectations.Across the board, this jump is poised to deliver substantial gains in throughput and thermal efficiency, both of which will be pivotal if Apple introduces its first foldable phone.
