According to Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 17 may feature TSMC's enhanced N3P 3-nanometer chip tech. 2026's iPhone 18 Pro models may support the new 2nm processor.

Next year's iPhone 17 series will feature processors made using TSMC's enhanced N3P 3-nanometer chip technology, but only iPhone 18

Initially, some rumors indicated that the iPhone 17 wouldn’t include 2nm chips, but a new report from Business Times states that TSMC plans to start mass production of this technology in 2025. Apple is expected to be among the first to implement this cutting-edge process, which could be a game-changer for the company’s chip development.

Phone 17 lineup will be powered by processors fabricated using TSMC's enhanced N3P 3-nanometer chip technology.

The company will be using a third-generation 3nm process for next year's iPhone, with 2nm chips to follow a year later.

A tweet by supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims to shed light on Apple’s plans for the adoption of smaller process chips … His expectation is that all four iPhone 17 models will stick to 3nm chips next year,
