Are there ‘knock-off’ after market A11 Bionic Chips manufactured that are not licensed by Apple? Is the Apple P/N 339S00434 on the official chip? Who is the manufacturer licensed by Apple?
The A11 is a state of the art, just released SoC. I thought I had read that it has >4B transistors. I highly doubt that there is anything available anywhere (just for kicks, I checked Aliexpress). You do realize that all recent Apple SoC are paired with other major components on the logic board, such as the NAND, BaseBand etc. That means even if you did find a knock-off, it wouldn’t work on any iPhone logic board. Perhaps you can explain why this is of interest, there might be some other help we can offer.
Apple has not licensed the manufacturing of any of their SoC chips for use in other phones or devices. You are aware this chip and all of the other Apple SoC chips are very complex and I doubt there is any one willing to challenge Apple in stealing the design. If caught I’m sure Apple will throw the book at you legally!
