A US order to TSMC to cut AI chip supplies to China over Huawei sanctions won't cause problems for Apple. However, Taiwan's prohibition of TSMC producing 2-nanometer chips elsewhere could make an impact.
TSMC has advised the U.S. that there was an attempt by Huawei to violate sanctions against China restricting the export of AI chips to China, as the probe that could affect Apple chip production rolls on.
A US Commerce Department investigation into a possible sanctions breach by TSMC could spell trouble for Apple, as its chip partner could face penalties that ultimately harm production of iPhone and Mac chips.
The A20 chip that will be used in the iPhone 18 could be packaged with a new tech that will give Apple more configuration options, while still being as small as possible.
TSMC is expanding the capabilities of its chip plant in Arizona by partnering with the US-based Amkor Technology to add advanced packaging and test capabilities. The move will result in more US-based Apple chip production in the future.
TSMC has reportedly started production of Apple's iPhone chips in its Arizona foundry, with the first to be made in America set to be the A16.
Despite previous reports that Apple's iPhone 17 Pro would get TSMC's latest 2nm processor, a new claim says mass production will not be ready until the end of 2025.
Apple's chip partner is about to start trial production of chips using a 2-nanometer fabrication process, ahead of making the A19 chip destined for the iPhone 17.
Apple has reportedly increased its chip order with TSMC, one that apparently puts both the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models on the A18 chip.
Taiwan press venues are circulating rumors of a new Apple datacenter coming that don't appear to be based on anything, making claims of a $14 billion benefit to the country's economy questionable, at best.
As saber-rattling about a Chinese invasion of Taiwan grows, two Apple suppliers have confirmed that they can scuttle chip production lines from outside the country, should the need arise.
Apple is preparing to start the production of chips using a 2-nanometer process, and sent COO Jeff Williams to Taiwan with a view to securing the first batch.
A worker has died after being caught in an explosion at the Arizona site where iPhone processor manufacturer TSMC is building a new plant — and has previously been accused of using dangerous construction methods.
Apple chip partner TSMC faces significant barriers that impede the Arizona chip fabrication facility's progress, and the culture clash between American and Taiwanese employees doesn't seem to be getting batter.
A new rumor claims that Apple will use TSMC's 3nm technology for an AI server processor that it is designing alongside its iPhone and Mac chips.
A new report says that almost two years in to its program for developing 2 nanometer processors, TSMC is on schedule for Apple to use the technology in its mid- and late- 2025 devices like the iPhone 17 Pro.
The US Commerce Department is awarding iPhone processor manufacturer TSMC $6.6 billion and providing low-cost loans, for a third fabrication plant in Arizona.
Following Taiwan's earthquake, Apple chip partner TSMC has started up its production lines in the territory, minimizing the downtime for this aspect of Apple's supply chain.
A 7.2 magnitude earthquake has hit Taiwan, killing 9, and causing Apple processor manufacturer to temporarily halt production.
With chip manufacturer TSMC's 2 nanometer foundry technology nearly ready, a new — and obvious — leak says that Apple is already designing iPhone processors using it.
