The semiconductor manufacturing company TSMC, which is Apple's chip supplier, is said to pack the 2018 iPhones with its new 7-nanometer manufacturing technique.

After trial efforts have been concluded, the Taiwanese tech company TSMC should be all set to start the 7-nanometer manufacturing sometime between fourth quarter of 2017 and first quarter of 2018. The timetable would give Apple Inc. an ample time to implement the technology into its 2018 iPhones, wherein the Taiwanese tech company will be the Cupertino-based tech giant's exclusive supplier of 7-nanometer chips, MyDrivers reported.

In spite of that, it has been said that Apple could utilize the process for the A11 chip in 2017 iPhones, but that would be unlikely as Apple has preferred to roll out new iPhones in September, and the tech company would need full-scale manufacturing to comply with global demand, Apple Insider has learned.

Furthermore, it's clear that TSMC needs to polish up its own process in order to achieve the exclusivity over the production of the chipset that will come along in the upcoming iPhones. The TSMC has already confirmed that it will fire up a pilot for its 7nm processor in 2017.

On the other hand, Apple Inc. is planning to sport its upcoming iPhones with vibrant, energy-sipping organic LED displays, as the tech company intends to entice tech fans with new technology that's already been squeezed by other high-end smartphone manufacturers.

The problem with OLED displays on iPhones is that the four main suppliers (Samsung Display, Sharp, Japan Display and LG Display) for such technology won't have enough production capacity to make screens for all new iPhones in 2017, with constraints to continue into 2018. As the OLED screens are not easy to produce, the issue presented a potential challenge for the Cupertino-based tech giant, Financial Review has learned.
