Forget iPhone 16 — iPhone 17 just tipped for this big performance upgrade

IPhone 15 Pro shown in hand.

Apple may be the only phone maker to have adopted 3nm chips, which are smaller than anything its rivals have to offer, but it seems things won’t stop there. According to a new report from DigiTimes, production on next-generation 2nm chips is set to begin next year. 

According to the report TSMC, which makes the 3nm A17 Pro chips for Apple, could begin installing equipment to produce 2nm chips later this year — April at the absolute earliest. The question is whether these chips will be available in sufficient quantities to be installed on the iPhone 17. Or if we’ll have to wait for the iPhone 18 launch in late 2026.
