The iPhone 16 family of phones all use a chip called A18, which is made by TSMC. Both chips are made on a second-generation 3nm process, and appear to be the same aside from a binned version used in the non-Pro phones.

Apple's A16 chips are now being manufactured on American soil at TSMC's Arizona plant, according to Taiwan-based independent journalist

TSMC has started production in its first US fabrication unit in Arizona. It's manufacturing Apple's A16 processors.

Apple introduced its A16 Bionic processor in September 2022, along with its iPhone 14 Pro. Nowadays, this SoC is used for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, as the iPhone 14 Pro has been discontinued.

Interestingly, the U.S. fab building the APs is expected to reach yield parity with Taiwan in just a few months. The SoC is built using an enhanced 5nm process node which most of us media types have called 4nm.

Apple's A16 chips are now being fabricated at TSMC's Arizona facility. The A16 chip are reportedly being produced in small quantities.
