Apple is to use a new P.A. Semiconductor processor for its new iPhone.

Not so much time has passed since the latest iPhone release, still rumour mill has begun churning about Apple working already on a new smartphone.

Specifically, a company insider has let slip some info about Apple recent acquisition: a P.A. Semi (Palo Alto Semiconductor) that is supposed to be used in the next iteration of iPhone.

According to Apple fan site Apple Insider, the initial wave of Net chatter began surging when a New York Times blog post highlighted the revealing LinkedIn profile of P.A. Semi’s Wei-han Lien.

Company CEO Steve Jobs outlined earlier in the year that the acquisition of P.A. Semi would help pave the way for the future of Apple’s handheld devices.

It’s clear that by using its own P.A. Semi in its processing technology, Apple will also be able to utilise the advantages of in-house production to hold an even tighter rein on the focused evolution of its products.
