[CNMO News] Previously, CNMO noticed that Apple has begun to produce iPhone 14 series smartphones in India, which is much earlier than the previous time of revelations. CNMO believes that Apple's move may be intended to reduce the production costs of mobile phones and free up more profit margins. Recently, there have been rumors on the Internet that Apple rejected TSMC's proposal to increase chip prices next year, which has attracted the attention of many netizens. Now, TSMC has also officially responded, saying that it will not comment on the relevant news.

Apple

Previously, many IT industry leaders have expressed that many industries are facing pressure of chip shortage this year. As one of the world's largest chip manufacturers, TSMC is undoubtedly the top priority in solving this problem. But now, the situation seems to have changed so much that Apple can directly reject TSMC's price increase requirements. Of course, this may also be the reason for the influence and strength of Apple itself.

TSMC

According to CNMO's understanding, TSMC's price increase this time is about 3% to 6%, which is relatively not large, but Apple's chip demand is not small. If the price really increases, it will also increase Apple's considerable expenses. Currently, Apple is still one of TSMC's largest customers, with the former contributing about 25% of its revenue to the latter.
