Apple announced its latest M3 chips alongside the launch of the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models. The company is planning to bring the new chip to its iPad Pro and MacBook Air lineup next month, which will be significantly more powerful than the current M2 chip. Apple's M3 chip is based on TSMC's 3nm architecture, which means that it features a higher transistor count than the M2 chip. This ultimately translates to better performance and improved efficiency. While the M3 chip is still young, the company has already begun designing its forthcoming chips based on TSMC's 2nm process.
Apple has already started developing chips based on TSMC's 2nm architecture
According to the latest information discovered from an Apple employee on LinkedIn, spotted by gamma0burst, Apple has started developing chips based on TSMC's 2nm fabrication. Note that the information shared on LinkedIn does not clearly mention Apple's future prospects but keeps it hidden. However, a part of the company's slide states, "TS5nm, TS3nm, working on TS2nm, " which potentially hints at different fabrication processes the company has worked on in the past. It also gives us a clue regarding the company's forthcoming 2nm chips from TSMC.

If you are unfamiliar with it, Apple has been working with TSMC for a long time, and the supplier has produced 5nm and 3nm chips for the iPhone, Macs, and other products. This time, Apple is working with TSMC to develop 2nm chips, which will be used in future products. 3nm or 2nm fabrication refers to the chip's specific architecture, and the decrease in nanometer count means that the transistors will get smaller.
Other than 2nm chips, it was also previously noted that the company has also begun work on 1.4nm chips, which will be available in 2027. Apple has been approaching TSMC to reserve a share of the 1.4nm and 1nm chips as well. As mentioned, the performance and efficiency of the chip are inversely proportional to the nanometer count. This means that the company's development of 2nm chips will feature enhanced computational and graphical performance with lower power consumption.
Apple is expected to use 2nm chips in 2025 for iPhones and Macs. If the news has any heft, the technology could be part of the A19 chips and M4 chips. As for performance gains, we are expecting a 10 to 15 percent increase with 25 to 30 percent lower power consumption.
Considering the above-mentioned time frames, the iPhone 17 could house the new 2nm chips. Apple's transition to its custom chips created a frenzy in the chip industry, with the company quickly taking the lead. It

It was recently reported that Apple could see fit to announce the new iPad Pro refresh on March 26 with some pretty hefty changes. The OLED display will be the highlight of the upgrade, but it will not be the only product that Apple unveils at its event, as the iPad Air is also slated to bring some nifty changes. It was reported earlier that Apple will shift the front camera and Face ID sensors in iPad Pro and iPad Air models from portrait to landscape orientation to enhance its utility. However, a tipster claims that the iPad Air 6 will only come in a 10.9-inch screen size, claiming that Apple will not release a 12.9-inch variant later this month.
Apple is expected to announce the revamped iPad Pro models soon, with major changes implemented throughout the device. If you are on the verge of making a decision to purchase the M2 iPad Pro right now, we would recommend you wait for the OLED iPad Pro's launch. You will get clarity on not only the upgraded feature set but also the new pricing scheme. Other than this, the OLED iPad Pro will undergo a major redesign, and it will look and perform very differently from the current models. For your convenience, we have curated a list of changes coming with the OLED iPad Pro, which will make the device a worthy upgrade.
Apple’s ‘Project Titan’ was the company’s self-driving car ambition that had an estimated $10 billion invested in the venture. After a decade of rash decisions, delays, and frequent leadership changes, the autonomous vehicle development was axed entirely. In addition to the ludicrous expenditure, the efforts of various teams, including the Apple Silicon, went up in smoke, as these individuals were nearly finished with a custom chipset that was equal to not one, but a whopping four M2 Ultra SoCs, which is Apple’s most powerful in-house silicon to date.
Apple was expected to launch the OLED iPad Pro alongside the M3 MacBook Air models, but it appears that the company took a slightly different approach. Apple announced the M3 MacBook Air models earlier this week with various new upgrades on the inside. However, we are still expecting the OLED iPad Pro models to be released sometime later this month. While the launch time frame stands for the end of March, the company is reported to have ordered 8.5 million units of OLED displays from its suppliers, hinting at potential demand.
Apple's dream of creating an all-electric self-driving vehicle is no longer alive, as the company recently shut down its decade-long project. However, there are various takeaways on why the company decided to pull the plug on its project. Well, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg sat down with Drake Bennett today to publish an in-depth report on why the Apple Car has been canceled and what it looked like.
Apple has terminated Epic's iOS developer account, putting a big roadblock in front of the studio's plan to bring Fortnite back to iPhones and iPads in Europe. Epic has published some, er, highlights from its correspondence with Apple on the subject, and they're some of the most hilariously spiteful bits of corporate messaging you will ever see.
Fortnite developer Epic Games says that Apple has terminated its Epic Games Sweden AB's developer account, which was intended to release the Epic Games Store and Fortniteon iOS devices in the European Union (EU).
The iPhone 16 lineup will house numerous changes from the current models as the devices are set to receive one of the biggest makeovers. However, Apple's design language has stagnated for a while as it failed to innovate further into the foldable category. The company is now expected to revert back to the iPhone X-like design for the upcoming iPhone 16, which has raised some eyebrows over the past few months. In the latest CAD renders, it is seen that the company is aiming for an iPhone X-like camera layout but with some nifty improvements like the Capture Button.
Apple and Epic Games have been in an ongoing battle over App Store policies, and now the frenzy has taken a new turn. In a surprising turn of events, Apple has decided to terminate Epic Sweden's developer account globally due to its untrustworthy behavior, calling it a threat to the iOS ecosystem. The company's decision took a U-turn a month after it approved Epic's developer account, and it remains to be seen if the company will comply with the Digital Markets Act.
Apple has finally released its big iOS 17.4 update to the general public. The company has complied with the EU regulatory authorities to update its platform with the necessary changes oriented toward developers and the public. The update also comes with a plethora of additional features rolling out globally. If you were waiting for the iOS 17.4 update for the iPhone, it is now available for free.
Apple has been working on its big iOS 17.4 update for months now and the reason why this specific update holds more importance is the type of additions it will bring to the table. iOS 17.4 will finally update the platform with changes that are imposed by the EU under the Digital Markets Act. What this means is that users will finally be able to download and install apps from outside the App Store. The update will also host a bevy of features for users in North America, so it is a win-win for all. With that said Apple could release its major iOS 17.4 update for the iPhone today.
Samsung has been reported on a few occasions to be struggling with its 3nm GAA yields, and while the logical move might have been to find ways to improve that percentage, the Korean foundry is making a monumental leap towards mass producing its 2nm node. However, according to one update, the company is not actually pursuing the production of 2nm wafers but has labeled its second-generation 3nm technology with the same name. Naturally, this can cause confusion for Samsung’s clients and mislead them into thinking that they are receiving wafers on a cutting-edge manufacturing process.
