TSMC's factory in Arizona, USA, is poised to initiate mass production of Apple's A-series chips, marking a historic milestone for Apple as it embarks on local chip manufacturing in the United States for the first time. The factory has successfully completed trial production, and Apple is currently in the process of validating the chip quality. Commercial production is anticipated to commence later this quarter, following approval. The primary focus of this factory will be the production of A-series chips, which are utilized in devices like the iPhone, potentially encompassing chips for the upcoming iPhone 15 and Apple Watch Ultra 2, although official confirmation is still pending. This strategic shift underscores Apple's commitment to advancing its chip manufacturing capabilities.
