Tim Cook confirms: iPhone is returning home, to America

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the largest foundry company with more than half of the global market share, hosted Tim Cook and President Joe Biden at the opening ceremony of its factory. Tim Cook spoke at this event held in Arizona and confirmed that the processors and chips Apple will use will be produced in the USA. “And now, thanks to the hard work of so many people, these chips can be proudly branded Made in America,” Cook said. "This is an incredibly important moment," he said.

iPhone and other Apple products will use US-based processors

The factories, which will be operated by TSMC, will manufacture the most advanced processors in the US, including chips in the latest iPhones, iPads and Macs. The facilities will produce Apple's A-series and M-series processors, as well as Nvidia's advanced graphics processors. The production of these chips will be carried out in 4 nanometer and 3 nanometer production technologies. “Apple had to buy all advanced chips from overseas, now they will bring most of their supply chain home,” said President Joe Biden. “It can change the rules of the game.”
