TSMC has slowly transformed into a giant, no competitors are present in the horizon. They are doing business with Apple and are happy to keep up the good work. Samsung was removed last year and Apple gave the full responsibility to TSMC, this made their position stronger. Taiwan’s tech world has shaken up; this will massively bolster their economy. TSMC controls the brain that powers tablets as well as smartphones, their job is not easy at all. TSMC will never make phones; Apple can trust them on that. Samsung supplied chips, but they also found out about secret strategies of Apple.
The development is significant; the blow is directly on Samsung’s face. The sales figure became healthy recently; TSMC got their share of profit. They have got a 28% increase this quarter, which is massive. Customer orders will not be disclosed, but revenue will surely increase. The estimate was around 5-10%, they performed much better. Mark Liu was optimistic about Apple’s future; he thinks high-end mobile devices have a strong market. Apple is giving the best features, customers will always buy that. Another research firm in Taiwan mentioned that iPhone 7 will directly increase TSMC’s revenue by 10-15%; this prediction was also not accurate.
This is the perfect time for Apple to consolidate the strong areas; they can use these small bits of success to prepare for the future. The difference between the overall volume and shipmen volume is decreasing slowly. The famous US carriers also showed Apple the thumbs up, Cook can focus on other products now. The start was rocky, but Apple handled it well. The reports supplied by the banks told a different story, but Samsung had a major part to play here.
Electronics spending was shaken by Samsung’s major mistake. Apple’s products never followed any rules, they just created new records.
