Supply chain sources reveal that TSMC’s 2nm chip technology trial production results are better than expected, with a yield exceeding 60%.
This suggests that TSMC is likely to begin mass production of 2nm chips in 2025, with the chips being used in the iPhone 18 Pro model in 2026.
Currently, TSMC is conducting risk trial production of 2nm chips at its Baoshan plant in Hsinchu, northern Taiwan. The plant is implementing a new nanosheet architecture, which is expected to make significant improvements over the current 3nm FinFET process.
TSMC also plans to transfer this production experience to its Kaohsiung plant for large-scale manufacturing.
Analysis indicates that Apple’s 2026 iPhone 18 Pro model will specifically feature chips manufactured using TSMC’s 2nm process, paired with 12GB of RAM.
For cost considerations, the standard iPhone 18 model will continue to use 3nm process chips.
Thanks to the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, many clients have already shown interest in 2nm chips. TSMC has noted the industry demand and will quickly ramp up production.
