TSMC was previously reported to manufacture 4nm chips for Apple in the United States when it opens in 2024. The supplier is responsible for almost all of the chips that Apple uses in its iPhone, iPad, Mac, and other devices. At this point, Apple chips are being manufactured in Taiwan. TSMC is building two factories in Arizona as Apple aims to move production to the United States. TSMC's first plant will open in 2024 and will reportedly begin production of 4nm chips. The second plant will open in 2026 which will potentially enhance production capacity. Altogether, the supplier plans to spend $40 billion on the move.
As for potential production capacity, TSMC will manufacture 20,000 wafers per month with a third of the output reserved for Apple. The supplier also plans to enhance the chip manufacturing technology and move towards the production of 3nm chips for Apple's future devices.
