Apple's iPhone 17 Pro will be the first smartphone with a 2nm chip, ahead of the Galaxy

In 2022, TSMC announced that its 2nm fabrication process, known as N2, was ready for mass production in 2025. Immediately after that, reports emerged that the chipset in Apple's iPhone 17 Pro will be the first to use TSMC's 2nm fabrication process.

Here's What We Know

According to the latest information, TSMC is on track to prepare the 2nm fabrication process for mass production in 2025. Apple is expected to receive chipsets for the iPhone 17 Pro series devices made using TSMC's 2nm process, making them the first devices to use the company's N2 technology.

Samsung Foundry is also expected to have its 2nm fabrication process, known as SF2, ready by 2025. Qualcomm will reportedly use this fabrication process for Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. This year's flagship Exynos chipset may also use this fabrication process. However, since the iPhone 17 Pro will be released before the Galaxy S26 series, Apple will beat Samsung in the race for 2nm technology, at least in terms of releasing smartphones with 2nm chips.
