TSMC, the company chosen by Apple to manufacture the new A10 chip for the iPhone 7, will manufacture exclusively chip S2 which Apple will use in Watch Apple 2, the Taiwanese gaining the trust and implicitly the billions of dollars of Apple to manufacture these two extremely important components.
If until now Samsung produced the S1 chip for the Apple Watch alone, starting with the Apple Watch 2 things change radically, and TSMC will exclusively produce the new S2 chip, the production for the processor of the new smartwatch will start immediately next.
According to the latest information, Apple will release an Apple Watch 2 and an updated version of the Apple Watch, both of which will be based on an S2 chip produced by TSMC using a 16nm manufacturing process, so they will be more powerful and consumes less energy during operation.
The two new models of the Apple Watch will have the same face at the base, but it seems that they will have different sizes and there is a possibility that Apple will update only one of the two versions of the Apple Watch, most likely the cheaper model with a 38mm screen , Apple Watch 2 will continue to be produced in 2 versions.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) will replace Samsung as the sole supplier of chips for the new Apple Watch starting the second half of 2016. Both models, second-generation Apple Watch (Apple Watch 2) and an enhanced version of first-generation Apple Watch, will feature Apple's S2 SoCs built using TSMC's 16nm process technology, but come with different screen sizes.
The change that Apple makes regarding the manufacturer of the Apple Watch 2 processor is an extremely important one, because TSMC has demonstrated that it is able to support Apple's demands with a custom production, those from Samsung losing new extremely important contracts from Apple .
