A Apple It may be the first company in the mobile phone market to use 2 nanometer photography from TSMC in 2025. According to a report disclosed in a quarter of an hour (10) by DigiTimestechnology will be used to manufacture or process the iPhone 17 Pro e iPhone 17 Pro Max — which is expected to launch sometime next year.
This could mean that a big technology will come in front of the competition and pioneer the use of 2 nanometer lithography. TSMC is scheduled to begin production of these first chips starting in 2024, with mass production expected for 2025, perhaps with the same timing as the launch of iPhone17.
Noticiamos, in January, that Apple supposedly priority guarantee for the acquisition of the first 2 nanometer chips by TSMC. It must be said that the companies already have a semelhante agreement in 2023, and with that, or iPhone 15 Pro e iPhone 15 Pro Max foram os primeiros cellular with a 3 nanometer processor, or A17 Pro.
Since 3-nanometer technology has yet to be mass-produced, I hope that a technology will eventually be used to make Qualcomm and MediaTek's high-end near chips – Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Dimensity 9400, respectively.
Alem back 2 nanometers, one TSMC has not worked on developing 1.4 nanometer lithographywhich is expected to become product in the testing sector in 2027 or 2028, a period when other giants in the segment – such as Samsung and Intel – have also been exploring similar technologies.
Olhando for the nearer future, Apple should launch the iPhone16 e iPhone 16 Pro in 2024, chips engraved with a “second generation” of TSMC’s 3 nanometer process, which should guarantee a small increase in consumption and energy efficiency compared to the process used in the A17 Pro of the iPhone 15 Pro.
