Apple news sites discussed Jeff Pu's comments earlier this week. Pu is an analyst at GF Industries in Hong Kong. He first claimed the next A20 chip would come from TSMC using their 3 nanometers (N3P) process. This went against earlier talk about Apple jumping to better 2-nanometer technology.
The first report suggested Apple might stick with the same basic chip-making method they used for the A19. Pu mentioned they would add TSMC's special Chip on Wafer on Substrate packaging to help with AI features. But something changed fast after that first news broke to everyone.
MacRumors published a new article this morning with different information. It said the teams at GF Industries mixed up their facts about the iPhone 18 coming in 2026. Jeff Pu himself fixed the mistake directly with MacRumors. He actually believes Apple will use the N2 process—meaning 2-nanometer chips after all.
This matches what other people said before, making the rumors line up again. Phone chip fans felt pretty bummed when they heard the A20 might use older technology. The updated news should make them happy. Reports say TSMC keeps making good progress with their advanced 2-nanometer chips. The company plans to start mass-making these chips during the last half of 2025.
