Apple are going to release chips? I think they are going to be releasing iPhones and iPads and laptops. To sell the transition, they'll call it iPhone N+1. "2x faster" is the sort of marketing their competitors are stuck with, right along with "cheaper" and using the Microsoft, Windows and Intel brand names rather than their own.

Apple has consistently used “2X faster” language whenever they can, and ALWAYS when justifying a major product change.

For them to not do this would be strange.
