TSMC manufactures Apple’s custom chips used in the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. As the world’s most advanced semiconductor maker, TSMC has been manufacturing next-gen 3nm chips.
According to DigiTimes, via MacRumors, Apple is now expected to buy up 100% of TSMC’s 3nm production, up from an estimated 90% in May.
Apple’s upcoming iPhone 15 Pro, as well as M3 Macs and iPads are all expected to use the 3nm chips.
