In an X post, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo today reiterated that the A20 chip in iPhone 18 models will be manufactured with TSMC’s 2nm process.
“The processors for 2025 iPhone 17 models will be made by TSMC’s N3P process/3-nanometer technology. The processor for 2026 iPhone 18 models is anticipated to use TSMC’s 2-nanometer technology,” he said. “However, due to cost concerns, not all new iPhone 18 models may be equipped with a 2-nanometer processor.”
