Initial reports suggested iPhone 17 Pro would be the first device to feature these processors.

[{"selector":"#anim-16c52bfb-930b-4e59-85db-c64f711e9ec9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.95328%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-05a700ff-a3a0-4cb3-99e8-84e13b804214","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-35b683af-2bd2-4ae5-bd6b-11af18bb7fe2","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Apple reportedly secured TSMC's entire output of 2nm processors for iPhone 17 Pro and Apple Silicon Macs.

Digitimes reports TSMC is set to produce its "N2" 2nm processors, with small scale production in late 2024.

[{"selector":"#anim-56013c17-bb61-49f2-8d07-90573f702324","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.10574%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-420ace45-937b-42f8-bf37-efd9ca5c42c5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ce2b421b-5e4f-4fd8-8b3c-56797298fb5f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Mass manufacturing of the processors is expected during 2025.
