Many basic things have also been damaged due to the Taiwan earthquake, which also includes TSMC factories. TSMC is the company that makes all the special chips of Apple, such as the A-series processor and M1 processor used in iPhone, iPad and AppleTV.
Taiwan earthquake: There was a huge earthquake in Taiwan this morning. This was the strongest earthquake in the last 25 years, whose reading on the Richter scale was 7.4. 7 people died and more than 700 people were injured in this earthquake. According to the report of MacRumors, many basic things have also been damaged by this earthquake, which also includes TSMC factories. TSMC is the company that makes all the special chips of Apple, such as the A-series processor and M1 processor used in iPhone, iPad and AppleTV. This may mean that there may be a delay in the production of iPhone and MacBook. This may also affect the upcoming launches of Apple.
Damage caused in chip manufacturing factory
There will be loss due to production stoppage
According to reports, the chips that TSMC makes, such as the 3nm A17 Pro chip used in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, require continuous work for weeks and a certain air pressure. But due to damage to factories and stoppage of production, some such advanced chips may get damaged, even if they were not directly damaged in the earthquake.
According to the report, TSMC has started taking stock of the damage to the factories and they are trying to restart production in some parts. However, it is not yet clear how much impact the production shutdown will have on Apple’s supply chain.
Apple will launch these products soon
Apple is going to launch many new devices in the coming time, including Vision Pro headset (which will be sold in more countries), new iPad Air, Mac Studio, Mac Pro, iPhone 16 series, Apple Watch Series 10 and Apple Watch Ultra 3. Are.
