U.S. President Donald Trump says Apple has agreed to work with Intel to design and manufacture some chips in the United States. Multiple outlets report the claim stems from a Truth Social post, with Trump presenting it as an already finalized arrangement. The scope of the partnership is not described in detail in the public reporting. According to coverage referencing earlier industry reporting, Intel would manufacture processors based on Apple’s chip designs, similar to how Apple’s current Apple-silicon chips are produced by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC). Some reports suggest Intel may initially handle lower-end processors used in certain iPad and Mac models, while it is considered unlikely that Intel could supply the newest, highest-end iPhone chips soon. Apple and Intel have not issued official comments confirming the deal. The reporting also notes Apple’s interest in broadening its supply chain beyond TSMC and the potential impact of constraints in chip supply. Some analysts and commentators connect the effort to Intel’s recent leadership changes and U.S. semiconductor-policy support, including a government equity stake tied to the Chips Act.
