Apple iPhone 17 Pro Series to Pioneer TSMC’s 2nm Chipset in 2025
Apple enthusiasts, brace yourselves for a groundbreaking leap in smartphone technology! The highly anticipated iPhone 17 Pro is poised to rewrite the rules of mobile computing, as revealed by a recent report. According to industry insiders, Apple’s upcoming flagship device will mark a historic milestone as the first iPhone to feature a chipset constructed on TSMC’s cutting-edge 2nm process.

This revelation comes as no surprise, considering TSMC’s announcement of its foray into the 2nm realm back in 2022. Speculations about the iPhone 17 Pro’s utilization of this advanced chipset have been circulating since then, gaining momentum with each passing rumor. Now, with the latest report seemingly confirming these whispers, anticipation for Apple’s next-gen device has reached fever pitch.
While the term ‘confirmed’ might be approached with a grain of skepticism in the world of rumors, sources suggest that small-scale production utilizing the 2nm process is slated to commence at TSMC later this year. Mass manufacturing is expected to follow suit in 2025, aligning perfectly with the anticipated fall release of the iPhone 17 Pro.
Earlier reports hinted at Apple securing exclusive access to TSMC’s 2nm process, at least initially, signaling a strategic move towards consolidating its technological edge in the competitive smartphone market. Beyond the realm of mobile devices, these cutting-edge 2nm chips are purportedly earmarked for future Apple Silicon Macs, underscoring Apple’s commitment to innovation across its product lineup.
Looking ahead, the trajectory of semiconductor advancement shows no signs of slowing down. Following the debut of the 2nm process, industry insiders anticipate an enhanced iteration towards the end of 2026, paving the way for an eventual leap to the minuscule 1.4nm scale. However, the veracity of these projections hinges on the accuracy of the current report.

As enthusiasts eagerly await the iPhone 16 series and iOS 18 later this year, set to showcase significant advancements in AI capabilities, the absence of 2nm chips in this iteration serves as a poignant reminder of the relentless march of progress. Yet, with the promise of the iPhone 17 Pro on the horizon, the future of mobile computing has never looked more promising.
Stay tuned to Pokde.net for exclusive updates and in-depth analysis as Apple embarks on its next chapter of innovation with the iPhone 17 Pro and beyond.
Pokdepinion: I honestly can’t wrap around my head as to how efficient a 2nm chip could be just yet. It’s not just about the battery life but I’m also wondering if it will be significantly less heat than whatever chip we have this year. Efficiency alone is what makes me feel excited to see what a 2nm chip could be capable of.
