Apple will have to pay more for its iPhone and Mac chips from 2027 onwards, as long-term supply chain partner TSMC is upping its base prices by as much as 10%. It faces having to pay TSMC even more for the all-important processors too. According to Nikkei on Tuesday, TSMC will be increasing the base price of its chips from between 5% and 10%. For TSMC, it is raising costs due to the cost of equipment, materials to make the chips, and for facilities expansion. Ultimately, this will affect the cost of chips Apple will pay TSMC for.
