Apple continues to be TSMC’s biggest customer, and for 2021, the Cupertino tech will likely keep that title firmly in position thanks to the latest data provided. According to fresh stats, Apple will reportedly take up more than 50 percent of TSMC’s 5nm chip production for 2021. Things also appear to remain unchanged when TSMC’s 3nm node is officially available to its clientele.

According to Counterpoint Research, the foundry industry was up 23 percent last year, and it’s expected to reach $92 billion this year. Both TSMC and Samsung mass produce 5nm chips for customers, but with TSMC having a better yield rate and better technology than the Korean giant, it’s no surprise companies like Apple have secured themselves a permanent supplier, at least for the time being. According to a previous report, Apple secured around 80 percent of TSMC’s 5nm chip production, so these new stats shows a much smaller figure.
