Apple Inc. is a fabless semiconductor designer in the supply chain, developing custom ARM-based SoCs (A-series for iPhone/iPad, M-series for Mac). It outsources manufacturing primarily to TSMC (advanced nodes like 3nm/2nm) and assembly to Foxconn/others. No update needed to core supply chain description; fruit 'apple' is unrelated.

Advanced Node Capacity

Leading-edge manufacturing capacity (3nm and the upcoming 2nm) remains highly concentrated. TSMC holds over 90% of the advanced foundry market share. The bottleneck is exacerbated by the simultaneous demand for AI accelerators and mobile SoCs, while 2nm capacity is already being pre-booked for 2025-2026 production.
