The big picture: New reports suggest that TSMC's upcoming 2nm semiconductors are almost ready for prime time, with indications of very positive yields. Apple will likely unveil the first 2nm product in 2026, and other tech giants are already in line for TSMC's next bleeding-edge node. likely on schedule to start mass production later this year, with the iPhone 18 Pro's A20 chip bringing the node to consumers in late 2026. TSMC's Kaohsiung plant will hold a production expansion ceremony on March 31, with orders scheduled to begin the next day. Progress has advanced smoothly, as the company's 2nm semiconductors reached 60 percent yields late last year and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that it has since advanced well beyond that. Pursuing an aggressive strategy, TSMC aims to produce 50,000 wafers per week by the end of 2025. TSMC will start accepting 2nm orders on April 1, 2025, for 2nd half production, targeting 50,000 wafers per month by year-end,…
