Apple faces rising costs: TSMC makes chips significantly more expensive
TSMC is raising chip prices, and Apple has to dig deeper into its pockets. The new 2-nanometer chips are driving up iPhone costs.
The Mac is Apple's computer family and the longest-running product line in Apple's portfolio – ever since the unveiling of the first Macintosh on January 24, 1984. Today, the Mac family includes the colorful MacBook Neo as the affordable entry point, the ultraportable MacBook Air, the powerful MacBook Pro with Liquid Retina XDR display, the compact Mac mini, the Mac Studio workstation and the iMac as an all-in-one desktop. Since the transition from Intel to Apple silicon in 2020, the entire Mac lineup runs on Apple's own chips, delivering significantly higher efficiency, longer battery life and tight integration with iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Vision Pro. The macOS operating system brings features like Continuity, Universal Control, iPhone Mirroring and Apple Intelligence directly to the desktop.
