Rumors suggest the iPhone 18 Pro will see only modest increases in battery capacity over the 17 Pro, with international versions around 5100mAh and the China version around 4056mAh, while a new A20 Pro chip on a 2nm process could boost efficiency and help battery life, though real-world impact awaits testing.
A leaker claims the Galaxy S26 and S26+ in Europe will use Samsung’s 2nm Exynos 2600, while the S26 Ultra may keep Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 internationally. The standard S26 is expected to boost charging to about 45W (from 25W), and the Ultra to 60W, with the 2nm chip rollout seen as highly likely for Europe in 2026.
TSMC posted a 35% year‑over‑year rise in Q4 profit to NT$505.74 billion on revenue of NT$1.046 trillion ($33.7B), beating estimates as AI‑server chip demand remains strong. Chips 7nm or smaller made up 77% of wafer revenue, with a ramp to 2nm on the way. For 2026, capex is guided to $52–$56 billion (vs. $40.9B in 2025) as AI demand and advanced process technology drive growth.
Sony's upcoming handheld console, codenamed 'Jupiter', is expected to launch in 2028 and will feature a 2nm chip developed by AMD and fabricated using Samsung's SF2P process, aiming for improved performance and power efficiency. The project is still under review, with mass production not expected before 2028, as Sony looks to re-enter the handheld gaming market amidst competition from Nintendo and Microsoft.
Next-generation 2nm chip technology for future Apple devices is set to begin production in 2025, with TSMC installing equipment for 2nm chip production as early as April. Apple is expected to utilize these chips soon after their production begins, following their use of TSMC's initial 3nm technology in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. TSMC is also evaluating the production of even more advanced 1.4nm chips in 2027, while mass production of enhanced 3nm nodes is set to appear in Apple devices later this year.
