Despite the iPhone 16's launch being six months away, speculation surrounding its successor is rampant online. The iPhone 17 Pro is poised to revolutionize the smartphone sector by incorporating the world’s inaugural 2-nanometer ARM chipset. This development could simplify the decision-making process for prospective iPhone buyers.

In today's tech sphere, there's a fierce battle for the title of the most powerful smartphone. Competing in this arena are giants like Qualcomm and MediaTek, which supply chipsets for various Android devices, and tech behemoths like Google and Samsung with their proprietary, albeit less potent, Tensor G3 and Exynos 2400 systems. However, Apple's latest offerings in the Pro and Pro Max variants are leading the pack, which are outfitted with custom processors specifically designed for mobile devices.

When comparing systems, real-world testing proves to be the most effective method. Performance tests and user feedback help determine which model reigns supreme in terms of speed. Interestingly, metrics like core count or clock speed become less significant. Despite the presumption that higher numbers usually mean better performance, other technical specifications of the device often play a more crucial role.

The big question is whether the iPhone 17 Pro will sport a 2nm thick ARM processor. Currently, the most advanced processors are manufactured using a 4-nanometer process. An exception is the Apple A17 Pro chipset found in the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, which benefits from a 3-nanometer production process. This innovation yields a more modern and efficient chipset, allowing for greater power within a compact space.

In less than two years, the market will welcome the iPhone 17 Pro with a pioneering 2-nanometer processor. This leap foretells a significant advantage in performance, potentially setting the iPhone 17 Pro well ahead of its rivals. DigiTimes reports that the Apple A19 Pro processor will mark the first instance of TSMC employing a 2-nanometer fabrication width.

The move to a 2nm processor promises a 25-30% reduction in energy usage and a 10-15% performance uptick over its 3-nanometer counterparts.

As part of the TSMC N2 technology initiative, the production of these new processors will commence in mid-2025. This advancement will boost the density of transistors by 15% compared to the current 3-nm (N3E) process.
By next year, Apple's competitors will likely still be navigating the 3-nanometer process (TSMC N3P and TSMC N3X), struggling to match the performance and efficiency of the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro.
