> Apple is said to be developing its own AI server processor using TSMC's 3nm process, targeting mass production by the second half of 2025.

> According to a post by the Weibo user known as "Phone Chip Expert," Apple has ambitious plans to design its own artificial intelligence server processor. The user, who claims to have 25 years of experience in the integrated circuit industry, including work on Intel's Pentium processors, suggests this processor will be manufactured using TSMC's 3nm node.

> The Weibo user has a number of accurate previous claims, including that the iPhone 7 would be water-resistant and that the standard iPhone 14 models would continue using the A15 Bionic chip, with the more advanced A16 chip being exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro models. These predictions were later corroborated by multiple credible sources and proved correct upon the products' release.

"artificial intelligence server" - so Apple isn't putting it in phones locally, but rather using it on the backend for processing?

Or could this be something they sell to customers?
