Leak Tips Apple A20 on 2nm With 'Borneo' and 'Borneo Ultra' for Pro and Foldable

The claims remain unverified, with separate reports pointing to sharply higher chip costs.

Overview

  • A Weibo leaker known as Mobile Phone Chip Expert claims Apple’s next A20 processor will use TSMC’s 2nm process and come in standard 'Borneo' and higher‑performance 'Borneo Ultra' versions.
  • The higher‑end variant is reported to target the iPhone Pro models and Apple’s first foldable phone, which industry coverage expects to arrive in 2026.
  • Tom’s Guide highlights a China Times report that 2nm chips could cost at least 50% more than 3nm, a jump that could pressure pricing for premium devices.
  • iClarified relays additional, unconfirmed details that the iPhone Pro may also debut an in‑house C2 modem and a main camera with a variable aperture.
  • Wccftech echoes the codenames and model mapping but, like other outlets, attributes the specifics to the same Weibo source rather than official confirmation from Apple or TSMC.
