Apple to Postpone Adoption of TSMC's 2nm Technology for iPhones Until 2026
December 26, 2024 - 12:03
TSMC’s 2nm technology is not expected to be adopted by Apple’s iPhones before 2026 due to an incredibly low monthly production wafer count. This delay comes as Apple continues to evaluate its supply chain and production capabilities. The anticipated rollout of this advanced technology was initially expected to enhance the performance and efficiency of future iPhone models. However, the current production limitations have prompted Apple to reconsider its timeline.
Industry experts suggest that TSMC is working diligently to ramp up its manufacturing capacity, with projections indicating that wafer capacity could increase by as much as eight times by 2026. This increase could potentially allow Apple to incorporate the cutting-edge technology into its devices, offering significant improvements in processing power and energy efficiency. Until then, Apple will likely continue utilizing existing chip technologies to meet consumer demands and maintain its competitive edge in the smartphone market.
