As Apple's major chip manufacturer TSMC nears the opening of its Arizona plant, US officials want it to build more — but US versus China politics are complicating matters.
A in-person visit to a TSMC plant has granted rare insight into the company that's responsible for the trillions of transistors running the world's processors, including Apple's.
As plans advance for the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company expansion in Arizona, there are concerns about costs and expectations of the American work force.
Two new reports from the supply chain say that both Apple and Intel have cut their overall processor orders with TSMC, but reaffirm that the iPhone manufacturer will take every 3nm chip the foundry can make.
AMD said at CES that its use of a 4nm process helps its new chips beat two-year old Apple Silicon, but in doing so, it revealed that a jump to 4nm was not a big deal for Apple's future chip releases.
As it officially launches mass production of 3nm processors which are expected in the iPhone 15 and new Macs, TSMC has boasted of greater power efficiency, associated with more speed.
After Apple supplier TSMC announced it would increase its Arizona investment, Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed that the company would use chips built in the state.
Before the first Arizona TSMC fab opens its doors in 2024, the company has already committed to building a second — and has announced that it will spend $40 billion on it.
LG has updated its Gram series of laptops with the new LG Gram 17, a lightweight notebook with a large screen. Here's how it compares with the newest 16-inch MacBook Pro models with an M2 Pro or M2 Max chip.

Apple supplier TSMC believes that US efforts to rebuild chip manufacturing at home are doomed to fail, as it finds itself caught between China and the United States in a tech cold war.
Right after the company recorded record profits, mostly generated by iPhone processor production, Apple chip partner TSMC has also announced that it has been granted an exemption from new US laws prohibiting high-tech manufacturing gear exports to China.
Some US officials suggested that destroying TSMC facilities would be more desirable than China getting access to semiconductor production, but Taiwanese officials state that won't be necessary.
After a report less than a week ago claimed that Apple was balking at paying TSMC more, Apple has allegedly agreed to accept a manufacturing price hike.
A new report says Apple will be the first company in the world to employ TSMC's updated 3-nanometer process, and aims to use it in the iPhone 15 Pro and M3 Macs.
A shortage of cheap chips is affecting production of cutting-edge chips, the CEO of TSMC has warned, with massive demand for the low-cost silicon consuming supply chains that could be used for more advanced chips, like Apple's A-series and M-series.
A prominent analyst covering Apple doubts claims made in a rumor that the company has cut down its iPhone 14 orders, insisting that such a major supply chain event is unlikely to occur as reported.
If you're feeling the pinch of limited storage capacity on your Mac, these disk space analyzer apps could help you see how it has been consumed, and potentially free some space up too.
If your HomePod isn't working, there's a way to reboot it or reset it back to factory defaults. Here's how to reset HomePod and HomePod mini with or without an iPhone.
A quality wireless microphone system is crucial but expensive for aspiring videographers. The Maono WM821 is economical but might cost you in other ways.
The old Sonos One was a versatile speaker at an entry price that didn't quite match the HomePod. The new Era 100 speaker changes that with a more dynamic sound and robust features — while managing to undercut HomePod in price.
Lately, chargers have become more powerful by outputting more power in a smaller and lighter form factor. The Uze 100W GaN Charger fits into this trend by offering high power in a compact design.
