Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Samsung Foundry is now pushing up its gears to make its 2nm process competitive in the industry as the division pursues facility enhancement along with upgrading production lines. Despite Dwindling Conditions, Samsung Foundry Remains Determined To Overthrow TSMC In The Semiconductor Race With 2nm & 1.4nm Nodes The Korean giant's business in the semiconductor markets isn't quite too well, given that the firm's processes have become a victim of flaws, whether it is unstable yields or even lack of interest from the industry. Samsung's 3nm products, which were said to be a breakthrough for them due to the integration of […]
The iPhone 17 series is reported to stick with TSMC’s 3nm node, though Apple is expected to move to the new ‘N3P’ variant, which means that the A19 and A19 Pro will not transition to the 2nm technology next year. As for 2026, when the technology giant is said to unveil the iPhone 18, the new chipsets, which will chronologically be named A20 and A20 Pro, are said to tout the new lithography, along with gravitating to a new packaging by ditching InFo, or Integrated Fan-Out. New WMCM packaging for the 2nm A20 and A20 Pro will allow for the […]
The A18 and A18 Pro are Apple’s two chipsets that are mass produced on TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process, which only means that sooner or later, the company will make a transition towards the 2nm technology. To prepare itself for the imminent switch, the Taiwanese semiconductor giant is reportedly prepping two fabrication plants, P1 and P2, on its home turf, with the end goal being to commence the installation of the necessary equipment. It has been reported that Apple will be the first customer of TSMC’s 2nm shipments, with both facilities said to produce a cumulative 40,000 monthly wafers once fully […]
There is a fair amount of uncertainty surrounding which lithography Apple intends to employ for its future iPhone lineup. A recent report mentioned that the technology giant will transition to TSMC’s 2nm process for its A-series of chipsets for the iPhone 17, but one analyst believes otherwise. He claims that the iPhone 18 family will be treated to the cutting-edge silicon, and even then, not all models will be given preference to this technology due to the high costs that will eventually be incurred. The iPhone 17 will not feature Apple’s cutting-edge 2nm chipsets, as the company will stick with […]
The Tensor G4 found in all Pixel 9 models this year might be the last of its kind, as Google could very well be on its way to dropping Samsung as a foundry partner in favor of TSMC. The Mountain View giant has been reported on multiple occasions to be developing the Tensor G5 for its Pixel 10 lineup, and it will be mass produced on the Taiwanese semiconductor titan’s second-generation 3nm process. In addition, a new report claims that Google has plans to keep TSMC as a long-term partner, with its Tensor G6 supposedly leveraging the advanced 2nm process. […]
Samsung Foundry has reportedly secured a major 2nm customer, the US AI chip firm Ambarella, as the Korean giant seeks to gain market dominance. Samsung's 2nm GAA Process Faces Yield Issues, Yet The Firm Still Has Massive Attention From The Markets Samsung is currently navigating its way through the semiconductor industry since the firm's foundry division hasn't witnessed a "conclusive" breakthrough yet, especially for its higher-end processes. To add further confusion to the matter, reports state the Samsung hasn't managed to achieve "industry-standard" yield rates with its processes, notably the 3nm GAA, which goes to show that the Korean giant […]
A cutting-edge 2nm fabrication plant is currently under construction as TSMC intends to starts mass production of wafers on this advanced technology for a number of clients, with the most notable likely being Apple. Unfortunately, a tragedy struck Taiwan in the form of the Typhoon Gaemi, causing massive economic losses to the region. Fortunately, the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturer claims that the tropical storm did not damage its 2nm facility, which is located in Kaohsiung. The other 2nm plant located in another region also seems to be unaffected, with TSMC stating that production resumed normally While the Typhoon Gaemi has […]
Samsung Foundry has announced that they have secured a 2nm order from a Japanese firm, snatching away TSMC's well-established customer. Samsung's 2nm Process Is a Testament To the Commitment They Have Towards The Semiconductor Division The Korean giant disclosed the development in a press release, which isn't ordinary because 2nm is still a process that hasn't made it into mainstream markets. Samsung securing a client shows that not only is the company's 2nm node sufficient for market adoption, but Samsung is looking to close the gap with the Taiwan semiconductor giant TSMC. With the 2nm, the competition does look to […]
TSMC provided an update on its 2nm process, revealing that the node is on track for 2025 & has successfully achieved its yield-rate targets. Taiwanese Semiconductor Giant, TMSC, Reveals Exceptional Yield Rates For Its GAA-Based 2nm Process Node, Expects Mass Adoption By Apple & Others TSMC's 2nm process node technology is considered the next semiconductor marvel, considering the massive performance gains it will bring. Firms like Apple and Intel have already set their sights on TSMC's 2nm for integration into their mainstream products. With that, TSMC clarified the situation on the developments in the 2nm process at the Symposium 2024, […]
The Exynos 2500 could be Samsung’s first 3nm GAA smartphone chipset that enters the mass production phase in the fourth quarter of this year, but the Korean giant is not stopping here because it has grand plans concerning its foundry business. A new rumor claims that the company has started developing its 2nm technology, with the intention of applying it to a future Exynos release. Just like its 3nm GAA variations, Samsung could introduce different versions of its 2nm process With Apple COO Jeff Williams recently reported to have visited Taiwan in a bid to secure the first 2nm wafer […]
TSMC and Apple have formed a tightly-knit partnership and have worked closely to secure deals that give the iPhone maker an edge over the competition. Recently, Apple’s Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams reportedly visited Taiwan to extend the company’s lead against its rivals in the semiconductor race by securing the first batch of TSMC’s 2nm wafers. Assuming both parties come to an agreement, and chances are that they will, it could potentially add billions to TSMC’s revenue this year alone. Apple successfully securing the first 2nm batch from TSMC means the latter can add $31.03 billion in revenue overtime It […]
Apple currently leverages TSMC’s 3nm process for several of its chipsets, and the company may stick to this manufacturing process for a few iPhone generations. According to the latest report, the iPhone 17 will not be the first lineup to sport an A-series SoC fabricated on the ultra-advanced 2nm node. This will mean that the A19 Pro that is expected in 2025 will retain the 3nm lithography, but it will not be the same technology, as you will soon find out. Apple expected to use TSMC’s 3nm ‘N3P’ process for the A19 Pro, which will likely be found in the […]
