Ransomware gang LockBit claims it has breached Apple chip supplier TSMC — but TSMC says no, the group only got into a minor supplier's systems and nothing of the processor firm's was taken.
Apple's processor supplier TSMC says that to ensure a "fast ramp up" of its new Arizona Factory, it is sending more workers from Taiwan for this "critical phase."
Apple is reportedly considering a switch to a more affordable manufacturing process for the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro chip, which could reduce efficiency but improve overall performance.
Chip manufacturers, including Apple supplier TSMC, have begun considering moving a portion of their manufacturing to Japan as US/China tensions continue to escalate.
Apple has reserved nearly all of TSMC's 3-nanometer process chip production for upcoming iPhone, Mac, and iPad models with the A17 Bionic and Apple Silicon M3 chips.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is having lithography tool troubles with the new chip process that is being used to fabricate the next generation of Apple processors.
Apple's processor manufacturer TSMC is asking the US for $15 billion in aid to help it build plants in the country, but is arguing against the Biden Administration's conditions.
Warren Buffett says his investment firm believes Apple is a "wonderful business," and especially that it has been managed extraordinarily well by Tim Cook.
Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett sold all but a handful of his stake in Taiwanese iPhone chipmaker TSMC, mere months after buying it.
A dubious report claims that Apple allegedly paused production of M2 chips at the beginning of 2023, caused by an apparent slump in Mac sales.
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.
Within days, TSMC will start mass production of its 3-nanometer chip process for the next generations of Mac, iPhone, and other Apple devices.
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.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has made it clear that the company will source at least some of its chip supply from the still-unfinished TSMC plant in Arizona.
