Apple may go back to Intel for its next iPhone chips
Apple may be planning to revive its chipmaking partnership with Intel for some of the upcoming iPhones. A report claims that the Cupertino-based tech giant may return to the US government-backed chipmaker only for manufacturing, not for designing its next-gen iPhone chips. According to a research note from GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu (obtained by MacRumors), Intel is expected to begin supplying some Apple chips using its future 14A process, which will reportedly be ready for mass production in 2028. He said Intel could provide Apple with at least a portion of future A21 or A22 chips for iPhones, though TSMC is expected to remain Apple’s primary chipmaking partner.
