Basically Apple's lost its chip-making mojo since Gerard Williams left the company to start Nuvia in 2019. The iPhone 14's GPU was too hot and inefficient so they had to reuse the previous one.

We'll get a boost from the recently online TSMC 3nm fab, but clearly architectural improvements are running behind.

ohh would you care to elaborate more on the matter? or to provide additional links to that info? sounds really interesting and sounds as apple it's starting to struggle for real this time to compete with the rest of the phone market I'm happy that this time they're going with improving battery life first BUT if they start to lag too far behind the rest of the competition, people will start to mock apple more and more

I don’t have any insight beyond the (paywalled) article. The M2 is nowhere near the leap in performance previous Apple Silicon generations have made us expect, however.
