TSMC had targeted the second half of 2025 for high-volume production and per today’s report, it’s on track to commence trial production in late 2024 and kick off mass production in 2025.
Since the next iPhones will probably be launched in September, it’s safe to assume that the first 2nm A-series chip will debut on the iPhone 17. Apple is usually TSMC’s first client to benefit from its new processes, so the iPhone 17 will probably be the only phone with TSMC’s 2nm chip next year.
TSMC is also readying an enhanced 2nm mode known as N2P and chips based on the tech won’t be ready before the end of 2026.
The foundry is also progressing as planned to produce 1.4nm chips. They are internally known as the A14 but we shouldn’t expect to see them in consumer devices anytime soon.
This is something we get to hear every year though so we will have to wait until September to find out if Android phones are going to be the next speed kings.
