A recent report from Taiwan Economic News claims that TSMC has began production of Apple's next generation processor, the A6. This processor is rumored to include some of TSMC's latest processor technology like 28-nanometer process and 3D stacking tech... sounds fancy! This processor might be found in the next iPad, but because we've heard production of the next iPad has already started, it will probably appear in the 4th iPad.

In the previous two years, it was Samsung who manufactured the A4 and A5. However, Apple has decided to change to TSMC, maybe because Samsung "copied their products", as Apple claims in their lawsuits against Samsung.
