Report: White House talking with Apple chip maker TSMC about building a US factory

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2020/01/TSMC-says-it-may-make-chips-in-the-US.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1000)</div>
<p>The Wall Street Journal is reporting (https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-and-chip-makers-including-intel-seek-semiconductor-self-sufficiency-11589103002) that the Trump administration is discussing with chip manufacturers including TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor) and Intel about the possibility of building fabrication plants in the United States.</p>
<p>TSMC manufacturers the core system-on-a-chip silicon that Apple relies on for its iOS devices (and soon Macs too). The upcoming A14 chip that will debut in the iPhone 12 will be built on a 5 nanometer process. This manufacturing currently happens in China, but the US government is campaigning these companies to start domestic chip production.</p>
