Apple and Broadcom sign $30B+ deal for US-made wireless chips
Apple has inked a multiyear, $30 billion+ agreement with Broadcom to design and produce over 15 billion custom wireless chips in the U.S. The chips will be used in future Apple products, reducing reliance on foreign suppliers. The deal supports Apple's goal of manufacturing key components domestically.
