Group 1 - Intel is expected to re-enter Apple's iPhone supply chain starting in 2028, manufacturing A-series chips for non-Pro models [1][3] - The A22 chip, developed by Apple, will utilize Intel's advanced 14A (1.4 nm) process technology, potentially powering devices like iPhone 20 and iPhone 20e [1] - Intel will only serve as a wafer foundry and will not participate in chip design, while Apple retains control over the core architecture [3] Group 2 - Intel's production share is anticipated to be lower than TSMC, indicating a shift in the iPhone's main chip manufacturing landscape [3] - Previous predictions suggested that Intel would begin trial production of low-end M-series chips for Mac/iPad using 18A (below 2 nm) process technology by 2027, paving the way for the 14A process in mobile devices [3] - If successful, this would mark Intel's return to providing core processors for the iPhone after previously supplying baseband chips for iPhone 7 to 11 series [3]
