Our Take
TSMC rising sales figures can be partly attributed to the new iPhones. Huawei has managed to ship 185 million smartphones this year and is likely to have contributed to TSMC’s increase in sales. A recent report believes that Apple will sell 10% more iPhones in Q1 2020 as opposed to last year. Furthermore, Apple is expected to ship 70-75 million units of iPhone 11. Meanwhile, the demand is only expected to become stronger with the increasing demand for 5G and new 7nm chips from TSMC.
