Apple and Intel may not be the duo you expected to reunite — especially after Apple dropped Intel chips in favor of its own M-series silicon. But behind the scenes, Apple could soon rely on Intel again, this time not for chip design, but for chip manufacturing.
According to new reports, Apple is in talks to use Intel’s foundry services to build future chips — a move that could have massive implications for both companies and the tech world.
🏗️ What’s Happening?While Apple now creates its own processors (like the M1, M2, and M3 chips), it still relies on outside manufacturers — primarily TSMC — to physically build them. Intel, meanwhile, has been investing heavily in its foundry business to become a top chip producer for clients like Apple.
For Intel, landing Apple would be a game-changer. For Apple, it could mean more reliable, U.S.-based production at a time when global supply chains are increasingly uncertain.
🇺🇸 Why It Matters:If Apple moves any part of its chip production to Intel’s U.S. foundries, it could:
Strengthen Apple’s supply chain with more local manufacturing
Reduce delays and geopolitical risks
Support the U.S. tech economy with more investment and jobs
But it’s not a done deal. Intel still needs to prove it can match the world-class precision Apple demands — and time will tell if they’re ready.
