The Apple A17 Pro is a 64-bit ARM-based system on a chip (SoC) designed by Apple Inc., part of the Apple silicon series, and manufactured by TSMC.[5] It is used in the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPad Mini (7th generation)[6] models[2][7] and is the first widely available SoC to be built on a 3 nm process.[8] This chip does not have a non-Pro variant, as Apple moved to the TSMC N3E manufacturing node technology and announced the A18 Series on September 9, 2024, with the A18 and the A18 Pro respectively replacing the A16 and the A17 Pro on the new iPhone 16 lineup.[9]
