Apple Inc. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said Apple will build chips in the US for the first time in nearly a decade, a key step in reducing its reliance on Asia-based manufacturing.
Cook spoke Tuesday alongside President Joe Biden and executives from chip companies at the site of a Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. plant under construction in Phoenix. Cook said Apple will expand its relationship with TSMC, which already produces chips for the iPhone maker, when the US factory opens in 2024.
