Apple is exploring new options to manufacture its chips in the United States, looking beyond its long-time partner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) as it seeks to diversify its supply chain.
According to a report by Bloomberg, the iPhone maker is in early-stage discussions with Intel and Samsung Electronics to produce chips domestically.
The move reflects Apple’s effort to reduce reliance on a single supplier and build greater resilience into its production network.
Executives from Apple have reportedly held talks with both companies and even visited Samsung’s upcoming semiconductor facility in Texas.
