TSMC to mass-produce 2-nanometer process by 2025, Apple already developing chips based on it

Apple's Mac and iPhone chips may be the most powerful chips yet, at TSMC 3nm. But a new report suggests that Apple is struggling to develop its next-generation chips at 3 nanometer, with an eye on the more advanced 2-nanometer technology. It's not confirmed, but it's still worth keeping an eye on, given Apple's history of supporting TSMC's advanced processes.

Apple has previously adopted TSMC's 5-nanometer technology, using the 3-nanometer process in its M3 Mac chip and the A17 Pro chip in the iPhone 15 Pro series. These chips have been used in the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro laptops, 24-inch iMac desktops, and 13- and 15-inch MacBook Airs. the OLED iPad Pro is also expected to be powered by this chip, making it the fastest iPad to date.
