<\/div>\nApple’s main chip foundry TSMC has hiked its financial outlook for 2021 on the strength of new Macs, with the first Apple Silicon<\/a> expected to ship in the MacBook Air in late 2020.<\/p>\n TSMC is expecting the climb to start in the third quarter of 2020. This is likely from the “A14” chip expected in the “iPhone 12.” However, a new report claims that the company will ramp up production and revenue because of MacBook Air<\/a> and 13-inch MacBook Pro<\/a> in the second half of 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n DigiTimes<\/em> reported on the TSMC revenue declaration. The publication says that TSMC expects to post revenues of between $11.2 billion and $11.5 billion in the third quarter of 2020, which is a 9.3% year-over-year increase.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Furthermore, the publication claims in that report published on Thursday<\/a> morning that TSMC is expected to see orders for Apple’s Mac lineup “ramp up and contribute substantially” starting in the second half of 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A second report<\/a> by DigiTimes<\/em> reiterates that the MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro are expected to be the first Apple Silicon Macs. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also believes that<\/a> Apple will release a 13-inch MacBook Air running Apple Silicon in late 2020. Recent reports also suggest that during the first quarter of 2021, Apple will “open contract bids<\/a>” from suppliers for the manufacture of a new 14-inch MacBook Pro<\/a> and 16-inch MacBook Pro<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It isn’t precisely clear how Kuo’s predictions line up with the TSMC revenue increase prediction. It is possible that the third quarter 2020 revenue increase is tied to the late-2020 Apple Silicon hardware, with further production escalation as more of the Mac line moves over to Apple Silicon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n DigiTimes<\/em> is a generally accurate source of information as it pertains to the electronics supply chain in China, Taiwan, and Korea. However, it has a poor track record as it pertains to features in Apple’s devices, and launch windows.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Tags:<\/b> Mike Wuerthele <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n\n\n\n\n\nSee Campaign: <\/strong>https:\/\/appleinsider.com\/inside\/13-inch-MacBook-Pro<\/a>
