Apple to buy more than 100 million chips from TSMC’s Arizona fab by year’s end

Apple Inc. plans to buy more than 100 million computer chips from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s fab site in Arizona by the end of the year, the California-based company said Tuesday.

Apple’s chip purchase from TSMC is part of the California-based tech giant’s $600 billion commitment announced last year to strengthen U.S. manufacturing.

“We’re buying as much of the output of this fab as we can,” David Tom, Apple’s global head of procurement, told the Wall Street Journal.

Apple declined to comment further on its chip deal with TSMC or on the Arizona operations.
