Apple's A20 Chip to Debut with 2nm Technology in iPhone 18 Models

TSMC's improved 2nm yields enable Apple to achieve significant performance and efficiency gains for its 2026 iPhone lineup.

Apple's A20 chip, manufactured using TSMC's advanced 2nm process, is confirmed for the iPhone 18 lineup, expected to launch in late 2026.
The A20 chip is projected to deliver up to 15% faster performance and 30% improved power efficiency compared to the A19 chip.
TSMC's trial production of 2nm chips has achieved yields exceeding 60-70%, ensuring readiness for mass production and timely shipments to Apple.
Analysts suggest potential differentiation within the iPhone 18 lineup, with higher-end models possibly featuring an A20 Pro variant with enhanced GPU capabilities.
This transition to 2nm technology marks a significant milestone in Apple's chip development strategy, maintaining its competitive edge in the smartphone market.
