Massive A-series Chip Order Apple Becomes TSMC's Largest Customer

According to a report from the supply chain, Apple is about to become the largest contract customer of TSMC. The most important cooperation project between the two parties is the production and packaging of A-series chips. TSMC will receive a large number of A-series chip orders from Apple. The continued hot globalization of iOS products has not only brought huge income for Apple, but also made the future of Apple's partners full of vitality. TSMC is such a manufacturer.

Apple becomes TSMC's largest customer

"Reuters" disclosed in a report last week that Apple is likely to choose Samsung as its supplier of 14-nanometer chips, rather than the previous report of TSMC. However, due to the huge demand for Apple A9 chips, TSMC has a chance to get a lot of orders. The iPhone sold 35.2 million units in the previous quarter, and the iPad was 13.3 million units. In other words, in the last quarter, Apple sold a total of 48.5 million units using A7 chips. This figure is an important reference for future A8 chip orders. According to the current situation, Samsung and TSMC will continue to be the largest suppliers of Apple's A-series chips within the next few years.
