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.
