Apple is expanding its US-made chip roster, but according to TSMC’s CEO, the most modern chips will continue being manufactured elsewhere.
A 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck southern Taiwan early Tuesday, forcing Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. to evacuate facilities in a region critical to global chip supply, marking the second significant seismic event to impact semiconductor operations in recent months.
After four years of planning, TSMC is now finally going to make older iPhone processors in the US, but it's not and never will be a true return to American manufacturing.
Apple's first batch of 'Made in USA' chips from TSMC Arizona are in the 'final test stage' chips being tested against 'Made in Taiwan' variants.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) first announced its plans to build an “advanced semiconductor manufacturing fabrication” facility in Arizona in early 2020, committing to a $12 billion investment in Phoenix that it later increased to a staggering $40 billion when it committed to a second facility in the state.
Taiwan experienced a 6.4 magnitude earthquake on Tuesday. The quake struck near the city of Chiayi in Taiwan’s south, according to Reuters, and it shook buildings in Taipei. TSMC said it evacuated personnel from some buildings and the science park in Tainan,

The CEO of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) will miss President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration.
TSMC resumes production at facilities located in two cities in Taiwan that were affected by a magnitude 6.4 earthquake.
TSMC Arizona has just picked up its second contract from Apple: fab will make SiPs (Systems-in-Package) for Apple Watch, as well as A16 chips for iPhones.
TSMC, which makes chips for Nvidia, reported net income of $11.6 billion. Its CFO said this was supported by "strong demand" for its advanced chips.
Apple is already testing the initial batch of processors produced for its devices by TSMC Arizona, reports Nikkei Asia. To begin with, the tests intend to compare the Arizona output to see if the quality is similar to chips produced in TSMC’s cutting-edge fabs in Taiwan.
