After the global chip crisis with the pandemic, when the global economic crisis was added to it, all sectors were hit hard. The fact that TSMC has no alternative, especially in the chip industry, puts a lot of pressure on the designers.Apple A16 is too costly
Apple, which accounts for almost 25 percent of TSMC orders, is in a very critical position. In order to maintain this position, he left the cost aside. Both the fees for the orders placed and the prepayments spent for the separation of the bands are reflected in the chip prices.
According to the information received, the cost of the Apple A16 Bionic chipset has doubled compared to the Apple A15 Bionic chipset. The cost, which was normally around $55, now hovers around $110. It has an extra cost as it is produced on TSMC’s 4nm process.
Apple has been trying not to reflect it on prices because the costs have not increased much until now, but gradually the profit margin began to be affected. Authorities predict that price increases will begin to be seen with the iPhone 15. In addition, since we will see chips such as the Apple M3 in the future, there will probably be a raise in Mac computers.
