Apple outpaced Samsung in the adoption of a 3nm chipset last year. It looks like Apple will beat Samsung in the 2nm TSMC chip next year. A new report suggests that next year’s iPhone Pro series will boast a 2nm chipset.
Taiwan’s Commercial Times reports that TSMC’s 2nm process is set to begin design work between January and April next year. Apple will be the first 2nm TSMC customer, beating Qualcomm which supplies Snapdragon chips to Samsung.
Currently, the most advanced process is 3nm, which both TSMC and Samsung Electronics are capable of producing. As the width of semiconductor circuit lines narrows, power efficiency improves, and performance increases.
Last heard, TSMC’s 2nm test production yield exceeded 60%, making mass production feasible next year. The current progress of the 2nm process technology suggests that mass production will proceed as planned in 2025.
Being the world’s leading contract chip manufacturing company, TSMC is solidifying its dominance. It continues to expand its global market share, outpacing Samsung Foundry while making steady progress in advanced processes.
The Chairman of Taiwan’s TSMC recently stated that the customer demand for 2nm products is higher than for 3nm. The industry consensus is that TSMC will continue to lead in cutting-edge processes for the time being.
TrendForce recently reported that TSMC generated $23.527 billion in foundry market revenue in the third quarter of this year, marking a 13% increase from the previous quarter.
The company’s market share reached 64.9%, maintaining its first-place position and improving from the previous quarter’s 62.3%, with the gap with Samsung Foundry continuing to widen.
Samsung is aiming to enter the ready-to-grow XR market next year. The company has been preparing to commercialize its product for two years. A new report talks about the possible launch and release timeline for Samsung XR Glasses.
South Korea Economic Daily sources revealed that Samsung is aiming to release its Smart XR Glasses in the third quarter of 2025. The company is planning to bring about 50,000 units of XR Glasses for the third and fourth quarters.
The Korean tech giant will challenge Apple’s Vision Pro by entering the XR market. The report says that the company has named this project “Moohan” (meaning “infinite”) and is accelerating its preparations for commercialization.
Rather than a headset, Samsung is said to be developing AR Glasses. It will be significantly cheaper than Apple’s Vision Pro headset. The glasses’ form factor will also push sales thanks to the affordability and portability of the device.
Recently, it was reported that Samsung’s Mobile division will showcase the Galaxy XR prototype during the Galaxy S25 launch. It would be a similar strategy that the company followed with its first Galaxy Ring this year.
An industry insider commented, “With the market yet to fully open, it remains to be seen what kind of innovation Samsung will bring to the table.”
MarketsandMarkets earlier reported that the XR market could grow from $31.3 billion in 2022 to $111.5 billion in 2028. The growth potential is significant as consumer demand for new and convenient IT platforms evolves alongside advancements in AI.
Apple has already entered this market by unveiling its Vision Pro in February this year. However, the field remains highly challenging to penetrate, as seen with LG Electronics halting its XR project with Meta due to technological difficulties.
Samsung has finally launched the Android 15-based One UI 7 Beta Program. The official announcement was made on December 5. The activity is initially available for the Galaxy S24, S24 Plus, and S24 Ultra in seven.
