At next week’s event, Apple is preparing to unveil the much-anticipated iPhone 17 series, Apple Watch series, and more. Leaks have now surfaced, and Apple has already begun work on the iPhone 18 series and is preparing to launch the A20 chipset that will power the series. Here are the details.

Apple to Work with TSMC for the A20

According to recent leaks, Apple will use TSMC’s 2nm process for the A20 chip that will power the iPhone 18 series. A new report reveals the strong industry demand for these cutting-edge chips and TSMC’s production roadmap.

According to a report published by DigiTimes, TSMC will increase production of its 2nm process next quarter and is charging a record price of up to $30,000 for each silicon wafer. Despite this price, demand is quite high, and Apple has apparently secured “nearly half” of the production on its own.

To meet this demand, TSMC has increased monthly production capacity at its Baoshan and Kaohsiung facilities. With the 4nm and 3nm processes fully operational by the end of 2026, the company’s profitability is expected to exceed all expectations.

According to the report, the largest customers for 2nm chips after Apple include Qualcomm, AMD, MediaTek, Broadcom, and even Intel. It is also predicted that by 2027, more than 10 major players, including NVIDIA, Amazon, Google, and Marvell, will also enter mass production.

The report also claims that Apple will remain TSMC’s primary 2nm customer, even as more companies adopt the process in 2027.
