Good luck with that, considering that German government just offered Taiwan vaccines for COVID in exchange for priority in TSMC for their automotive chips for cars. Not to mention all the other stuff, like XSX/PS5 chips etc.

Interestingly enough that is not the first deal I heard of like that in the way of COVID vaccines. From what I understand, Israel offered whatever pharmaceutical company it was peddling COVID vaccines, health data of their population. I am not sure if that was simply data about what happens with the vaccine or more.
My point here is that countries are willing to make deals with prized assets for the vaccine. This just highlights how competitive and how in demand that chip production is right now. Although I do feel these deals will be short term only because I don't believe the vaccine will prove to be very useful but that is just my opinion. Will be interesting to see who gets priority to make their chips over the long and short haul.

TSMC needs to cut Apples throat, they're the ones hogging all the resources @ TSMC
Apple isn't as important as the rest at this time, common sense again has passed them up.
TSMC can´t afford to lose a customer like Apple. They buy a lof of chips every year and they don´t mind to pay.
What TSMC needs is more factories but those take time and cost lots of money. And they are an huge risk.

It has been said before, but this is no dream come true for either Nvidia or AMD. This is a distressing situation where they can't produce enough to meet the demand. Units they can't sell because they haven't got anything to sell is 100% lost profit. Right now the shortage is too big. They can raise prices, but that pissess off the customers. Only Apple can raise prices without making customers angry.
We will just have to agree to disagree.
It is the dream of every business to make product as fast as they can and for it to fly off the shelves as they do.
The end consumer is just part of their business and most of them will buy the product pissed off or not so it does not really matter.
At the end of the day they are making cash by the bucket loads.
