TSMC, en av Apples underleverantörer uppges ha planer för at dubbla produktionen av kretsar med start från mars i år.
Produktionsökninge har stöd i den finansiella information som TSMC lämnat tidigare och uppgifterna kan också mycket väl stödja informationen att Samsung nu har gått miste om ordrar för att få leverera A10-processorn för iPhone, iPad och iPod till Apple.
Supposedly, TSMC won the A10 contract from rival Samsung last year promising to improve chip performance, lower costs, and save on battery life compared to the A9 SoC (system-on-chip) found in the iPhone 6s.
Recently, the company spent a massive $81.8 million worth of new equipment to manufacturer chips, while also setting aside a budget of $9-10 billion for 2016, whoch will be used for developing the foundrys new 10-nanometre processes.
TSMC still has yet to be officially confirmed as Apples only A10 chipmaker (the battle to build the A9 chips got pretty heated before Apple eventually decided to split orders between TSMC and Samsung), but all signs are pointing to this being the case.
