TSMC is a for profit business. Why would they care about the moral virtue purity of the applications running on their chips? Seriously illogical statement

  Oh, they definitely don't. I'm just pointing out that Apple can afford to forfeit the latest nodes without sacrificing anything important, whereas Nvidia cannot.

    Apple can't sleep on chip advances either. Intel seems to be very competitive again when it comes to laptop battery life. If macbooks again get the reputation of sluggy and overheating that's not great for sales.

      For laptops, maybe. For iPhone and iPad, more power is the last thing Apple should be focusing on.

      ...using TSMC fabs... if 18A gets going and is good, I am sure Apple will purchase capacity
