I seriously considered buying an iPhone 11 at the moment when Google announced that its new Pixel 4 smartphone wouldn't come with an ultrawide camera.

Once again, TSMC appears set to be the exclusive supplier of Apple’s custom iPhone SoC chip designs. Digitimes reports that the foundry will begin manufacturing the A14 chip for this year’s iPhones in the second quarter.
