TSMC expected to benefit from Apple's 2nm process technology for iPhone 18 Pro processor

According to market rumors, the processor of Apple iPhone 18 Pro will be produced using TSMC's 2nm process technology for the first time. This marks a further deepening of the partnership between Apple and TSMC. Due to advances in process technology, the cost of iPhone processors is expected to rise from the current $50 to $85, a 70% increase. Although neither TSMC nor Apple has publicly confirmed this price change, analysts generally expect that as the process technology used in the new processor continues to upgrade, TSMC's foundry prices will continue to rise, which will help improve its operating performance.
