The new generation of iPhone and Mac will use 3nm chips, TSMC will mass produce

This year’s iPhone 13 may not be your best choice.

According to the latest report, the iPhone and Mac in 2022 may use 3nm process chips.

Because Apple’s main chip supplier TSMC is planning to start mass production of 3nm chips for Apple in the second half of next year.

According to industry insiders, TSMC is expected to push its 3nm process technology to mass production in the second half of 2022 for use in Apple’s equipment, whether it is an iPhone or a Mac computer.

Earlier in June, TSMC had begun to increase production capacity to produce 3nm chips, but did not mention that Apple was a potential initial beneficiary of the new process.

Today’s news means that only two years after releasing chips based on the 5nm process, Apple may plan to jump directly to the 3nm process as soon as next year.

According to reports, Apple has booked TSMC’s full capacity for 4nm chips for Apple Silicon Mac.

However, the report does not have a timetable on when a Mac with a 4nm chip might make its debut.
