According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is planning to source chips from a US facility over the next several years. During a meeting with local engineering and retail personnel in Germany, Apple CEO Tim Cook allegedly said that Apple “had taken a choice to purchase out of a facility in Arizona.” As Gurman points out, it would reduce Apple’s dependence on Asian manufacturing, notably Taiwan, which produces 60% of the world’s processors. “Regardless of your feelings and thoughts, 60 percent coming out of wherever is definitely not a strategic position,” Cook remarked.
