According to reports from U.S. tech media sources, TSMC has informed key clients, among which Apple is a prominent one, that beginning in 2026, the prices of advanced - process chips below 5 nanometers will see an approximate 8% - 10% increase. This move is aimed at offsetting significant capital expenditures and addressing initial yield - related hurdles.
In terms of pricing, TSMC's 2 - nanometer process chips will command a price that is at least 50% higher than that of 3 - nanometer chips. The A20 chip, slated for use in the iPhone 18 series, is set to become the first mass - produced 2 - nanometer chip. The cost per unit of this chip is projected to reach $280, representing an astonishing 522% surge compared to the A18 chip. This indicates that the iPhone 18 could encounter substantial challenges as a result of the soaring chip costs.
