Apple reportedly developing in-house iPhone power management chips, could feature in 2018 iPhones

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/iphone-6-battery-2.png?w=1000)</div><p>Apple is apparently well underway in developing its own in-house power management chips for its iPhone models. Today, the integrated circuitry for power management is designed by Dialog, a UK company. Nikkei is reporting (https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Companies/Apple-to-design-power-chips-in-house-as-early-as-2018-Sources) that Apple wants to use its own custom chips as soon as next year, meaning they could feature in some 2018 iPhones but the timeframe is not locked down.</p>
<p>Apple has systematically taken on more silicon design in the last few years, ranging from its own A-series CPUs and GPUs found in iPhones and iPads, Apple Watch system-in-a-package and more.</p>
