An analyst believes that Apple will employ its 2nm chipsets in the iPhone 18 series, but only certain models will be treated to them
There is a fair amount of uncertainty surrounding which lithography Apple intends to employ for its future iPhone lineup. A recent report mentioned that the technology giant will transition to TSMC’s 2nm process for its A-series of chipsets for the iPhone 17, but one analyst believes otherwise. He claims that the iPhone 18 family will be treated to the cutting-edge silicon, and even then, not all models will be given preference to this technology due to the high costs that will eventually be incurred.The iPhone 17 will not feature Apple’s cutting-edge 2nm chipsets, as the company will stick with 3nm SoCs, but mass produced on TSMC’s ‘N3P’ node
On X, TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has provided an update concerning Apple’s plans for the iPhone 17 and iPhone 18 series. He states that for next year’s models, the Cupertino firm will leverage TSMC’s 3nm ‘N3P’ process, which is the third iteration of the Taiwanese semiconductor giant’s advanced node.
