iPhone 15 concept by 4RMD

The iPhone 15 Pro's rumored 3-nanometer A17 chipset is not only expected to be a uniquely powerful chip among smartphones, but new reporting from The Information claims this chip will have another key benefit for Apple.

Apple apparently has a special agreement with TSMC, the chip maker that builds the chipsets for iPhones, Macs and so on, one which has been in place since 2014 when Apple made its first order with TSMC for iPhone 6 chips. To summarise, the deal means TSMC has to pay for any defects found while building the new chips, saving Apple from having to pay billions of dollars for fixes.
