TSMC to Prioritize Chip Orders for Apple Due to the Ongoing Shortage - Wccftech

One of those sacrifices is prioritizing which partner gets chip orders, and according to the latest report, Apple happens to be one of those few lucky customers.

Selling millions of iPhones and iPads, followed by Macs featuring its custom silicon, Apple can secure a sufficient number of chip orders from TSMC, which undoubtedly helps with the chip maker’s quarterly profits.

Qualcomm may have secured chip orders from TSMC if it was not for the ongoing chip shortage, but changing circumstances have forced the San Diego firm to partner with Samsung instead for its rumored Snapdragon 895.
