Apple Targets 1.4nm A22 Pro Chips for 2028 iPhones

Bloomberg reports Apple will switch its high-end iPhones to 1.4-nanometer A22 Pro chips by 2028, with TSMC manufacturing the majority and Intel possibly handling some units. Following the iPhone 17’s 3nm generation and the iPhone 18 Pro lineup at 2nm in 2026–27, the 1.4nm transition could offer notable power savings or performance gains. Production costs and capacity are tightening due to AI chip demand, prompting Apple to diversify its supply chain, including potential Arm-based chips from Intel for other devices as it pursues a 14A-era 1.4nm capability by 2028.

Apple’s A22 Pro Aims for 1.4nm in 2028, Rumor Claims

Rumor says Apple’s A22 Pro will be Apple’s first 1.4nm chip, likely launching in 2028 after the 20th‑anniversary iPhone, with TSMC building 1.4nm fabs. The A21 Pro would stay on 2nm (potentially N2P). 1.4nm could offer ~10–15% higher performance or up to 30% lower power due to denser GAA transistors. No firm confirmation on a standard A22 1.4nm rollout; TSMC’s multi‑billion fab investments and a wafer cost around $45k are noted, keeping the timeline speculative.

Huawei Bets on 1.4nm Chips to Narrow Gap With TSMC

Huawei says it has a new pathway, dubbed LogicFolding, to shrink its gap with leader TSMC by aiming to mass-produce 1.4‑nanometer chips by 2031, a move that could challenge the need for ASML’s advanced EUV equipment since TSMC has said it will mass-produce 1.4nm by 2028. If Huawei can scale this, it would mark a significant step in China’s push for semiconductor self-sufficiency and shorten the industry lead held by TSMC, though the plan hinges on large‑scale manufacturing capabilities and technological breakthroughs.
