During the iPhone 13 presentation, Apple left out some key performance details when talking about its latest and greatest chipset for mobile phones, the A15 Bionic. Under normal circumstances, the technology giant boasts tremendous compute performance gains compared to the custom silicon that came before it and the competition, but something was amiss here. According to a new report, the lack of notable performance improvements is due to Apple experiencing a severe brain drain of talented chip engineers.

When it came to performance comparisons, Apple mentioned that the A15 Bionic was 40 percent faster than the A12 Bionic, but that silicon came out years ago. Why would Apple decide to compare its best chipset yet to something that is considered dated in the tech industry? It could be due to new findings from SemiAnalysis, who claim that Appleā€™s chip team saw a brain drain of talent leaving the company.
