TSMC has been the exclusive supplier of Apple's systems-on-a-chip since 2016.
Apple is considering Intel and Samsung to manufacture some main processors for its devices in the U.S.
KEY POINTS
- Intel could begin supplying Apple processors as early as 2027 or 2028, possibly for non-pro iPhones.
- Apple may use Intel's 18A process for the lowest-end M-series Mac and iPad chips by mid-2027.
- Intel's role would be limited to chip fabrication, not design, unlike previous Intel Macs.
