The production problem will take place at the TSMC Baoshan factory in northern Taiwan. The equipment developed for the production of 2nm fleas was delivered to the installation in the second quarter of this year. Apple is expected to move its custom silicon to the 2nm process in 2025.
The iPhone 15 Pro is powered by the A17 Pro chip, which is manufactured with TSMC's 3nm process. This process allows more transistors to be packed into less space, improving performance and efficiency. Apple's M4 chip, which recently debuted in the new iPad Pro, uses an improved version of this 3nm technology. Further improvements are expected with the move to 2nm chips, which are expected to boost performance by 10-15% and reduce power consumption by up to 30% compared to the 3nm process.
TSMC plans to start mass production of 2nm chips next year and is expected to accelerate the process to ensure stable production before mass production. TSMC is the only company that can produce flea on 2-nm and 3-nm on a scale and requires high quality apple. In the case of a token, 3nmapple has booked all available TSMC capacity, and the fleas maker plans to triple the assembly production capacity by the end of the year to satisfy the demand of arrows. 2nm chips could first appear in 2025\'s iPhone 17 lineup.
