Apple is set to significantly improve the performance of its upcoming iPhone 18 by introducing the new A20 chip, built using TSMC’s advanced 2nm process, Pepelac.news reported.
According to recent reports, the A20 chip will be 15% faster than the previous A19 chip while maintaining the same power consumption. This means improved speed and better energy efficiency.
TSMC will begin accepting orders for 2nm chip production starting April 1, and Apple is expected to be its first customer using the new process. Although A20 was initially expected to be built using 3nm technology, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and Economic News Daily confirm Apple’s shift to the more advanced 2nm process.
Apple is also exploring the use of silicon-carbon batteries, which could increase battery capacity without making the device thicker.
However, the transition to 2nm could raise the production cost of each silicon wafer to $30,000, potentially increasing the starting price of iPhone 18 models. Still, the A20 chip’s performance and efficiency are expected to set new standards for smartphones.
