Apple considering Intel and Samsung for US chip production, report claims — consumer electronics giant looks to diversify supply chain amid chip shortages

Apple is reportedly exploring Intel and Samsung as possible U.S.-based chip manufacturing partners.

The talks are still early, with no orders placed and no immediate impact on Apple’s product supply.

Apple wants to reduce reliance on TSMC amid chip shortages, capacity limits, and supply-chain risk.

A broader manufacturing mix could strengthen Apple’s chip security while advancing Intel and Samsung’s foundry goals.
