Trump Claims Apple-Intel US Chip Deal
18 Jun
Summary
- President Trump announced Apple would work with Intel for US chip production.
- Intel reportedly reached a preliminary deal to make some chips for Apple.
- This move would help Apple diversify manufacturing beyond TSMC.

President Donald Trump revealed on Truth Social that Apple has reportedly agreed to collaborate with Intel on designing and manufacturing its chips domestically. This announcement suggests a significant shift in Apple's supply chain strategy.
Sources indicate that Intel and Apple have been in discussions for over a year, potentially leading to a preliminary agreement. Intel would undertake the production of certain chips for Apple.
This partnership would allow Apple to reduce its dependence on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), a primary chip supplier whose capacity is currently strained by demand from AI chipmakers.
