Fortunately, that might change, with a new report claiming that Apple may adopt slimmer peripheral chips for its aforementioned product line. > Apple is expected to massively adopt IPDs or integrated passive devices for peripheral chips in future iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks, according to a DigiTimes report. Since the new chips will be smaller in size, these will also be designed in such a manner that allows for higher performance and deliver space conservation, which in turn will be highly useful, since the vacant area can be used for bigger batteries.
