Although it is expected that TSMCTaiwanese multinational semiconductor design and manufacturing company, In 2024, Apple will start producing 4 nanometer chips forclaims today There will be a delay in such production due to a lack of skilled labor. To do this important job.

TSMC is building a new factory in Arizona, United States. It is expected to be ready next year to start production of highly integrated chips. However, everything will not be ready on time for the opening and commissioning of the factory and this It could potentially impact Apple’s device roadmap for 2024.

A challenge to overcome

A briefing published by The Wall Street Journal states that TSMC is struggling to find people experienced in building semiconductor factories in the United States. This situation poses a challenge for the company and there are not many alternatives left on the solution table except for the alternatives. Temporarily bring experienced technicians from Taiwan so they can build the manufacturing machinery and also train new staff.

In any case, Any decision by TSMC will delay production of the first 4nm (nanometer) chips until 2025. Considering this situation, Mark Liu, president of the semiconductor company, used the following statements:

We are now entering a critical stage in managing and installing the most advanced and specialized equipment. However, we are faced with some difficulties.

What will happen to Apple devices?

For now, and without a doubt, it remains to wait. TSMC is the sole company responsible for manufacturing the chips inside Apple products such as the latest iPhone and iPad.and on the next iPhone 15 and these are very small but vital parts to make it work. It’s not something that can be ignored.

The 4-nanometer chips promise to provide significant improvements in the performance of new devices. with more powerful processors and superior energy efficiency. But to make them even smaller, it is necessary to develop machines that can perform the operation. Just to have an idea about it, a nanometer is a billionth of a meter, so it’s a very, very small element. They are 200,000 times smaller than a millimeter.

Until now Those in Cupertino didn’t decide this by compromising so much on the production of iPhone, iPad, Mac and all their products. However, looking for a new chip supplier company at the last moment does not seem like an option because the company that owns the bitten apple will not risk the market leadership of its devices.
