Apple reckons its A9 chip is 70% faster than the A8 that appeared in the iPhone 6. What does the A10 have in store? You can be sure its something similar, and a whole lot more. The Cupertino manufacturer is famously shady about the on-paper specs of its in-phone hardware, largely because, on stats alone, Apple devices pale in comparison to competition from the likes of Samsung. Why? Because Apple favours creating a complete package of hardware and software, attuned to one another in order to run at surprising speed. Still, thanks to well-doers happy to tear open iPhones with surprisingly regularity, we know that the A9 is a dual-core, 1.8GHz thinker. Sounds slow, but you only need to use 6s for a few minutes to find that it's not. Will the A10 follow suit? Well, there are plenty of murmurings pointing towards different manufacturers for Apple's next chip but the take home info is that it'll be a whole lot faster, and likely to pack more cores. Make that four more, to be exact meaning six-core smarts in the iPhone 7. It increasingly seems like Apple will also look to utilise the 10nm process whoever makes the chips for the A10, meaning thinner, more efficient processors, for a supremely speedy iPhone 7.
Happy-snapping worldly wordsmith. In between snapping street shots, tapping out stellar prose and having more hair-brained ideas than a barber with a bachelor's in business, you'll find him fumbling with the latest fitness fads and dreaming of a debut in F1 (he's a late bloomer, OK?).
