Trump says Apple to partner with Intel on US chip design, production
U.S. President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on Thursday (June 18) that Apple had agreed to work with Intel to design and build its chips in the United States.

Intel had reached a preliminary deal to make some chips for Apple, following discussions that went on for more than a year, the Wall Street Journal reported in May.

A deal with Intel helps Apple diversify its manufacturing base as it seeks more chip capacity. The company relies heavily on TSMC, whose advanced production lines are in ⁠high demand from AI chipmakers such as Nvidia and AMD.
