I don't think binning is as big of a deal as it's made out to be. What does Apple do with the "low-bin" A13s, for instance?

- SoapSeller 6y agoiPhone SE?
- selectodude 6y agoLow-end iPads and AppleTVs where either frequency or power consumption isn't as important, respectively.
- rbranson 6y agoApple's history is mostly using older designs for the lower end devices. They are completely different chips, not just a lower frequency version of the same part.
- selectodude 6y agoSure, but things can change?
- an_opabinia 6y agoExactly. The answer is nothing. If it isn't already, TSMC will eventually pass the cost onto Apple.
- imtringued 6y agoMobile chips are usually smaller than desktop chips. That alone is enough to increase the yield significantly.
