A17: Apple would finally validate TSMC’s price increase

Last week we learned that Apple was reluctant to accept the price increase requested by TSMC to produce its next chips. At the end of September, it even reportedly turned down the plan to raise the chip manufacturing prices by up to 6%.
According to Daily economic newsCupertino would finally have changed his mind to validate this increase. It must be said that the products at stake are not the last, that is the news chips engraved in 3 nanometers (including the A17 planned for iPhone 15 Pro or even future M2 developments). Apple would therefore be the first company to use such processors in its products. On the other hand, this price increase is not very clear, it could be explained by the current economic situation, inflation, lack of components or even the strength of demand.
