Apple will source chips from the US

Apple expects to stock up on semiconductors manufactured in a plant located in Arizona (United States) as of 2024, without specifying who exactly will be the supplier of these semiconductors.

The CEO of the technology company, Tim Cook, said in a meeting with workers and engineers in Germany that, in addition to focusing on the production of chips in his country of origin, he also hopes to expand his supply from plants located in Europe.

One of them would be located precisely in Germany, whose government would already be in talks with the company’s main supplier, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), to set up a component factory, as Bloomberg learned.

“We will source from Europe as these plans become more evident”, said the manager, also revealing that he has made the decision to purchase these components from a factory located in Arizona, scheduled to open in 2024.

From Bloomberg, they announced that this factory would be the one currently run by TSMC and that operates in the city of Phoenix. In addition, this manufacturer is also studying the possibility of building a second production center in the United States.

This news media also recalls that the US government launched a subsidy program, which is part of the law known as the Chips and Science Act, with which it hopes to encourage companies that manufacture these chips to expand in the country.

Currently, TSMC manufactures a large part of its products in plants located in Taiwan, which has a high production share (around 60% of the world supply of processors, according to Cook).
