We're thrilled to make commitments that harness the ingenuity, creativity, and innovative spirit of American manufacturing. All of Apple's products depend on technology engineered and built here in the United States, and we'll continue to deepen our investments in the U.S. economy because we have an unshakable belief in America's future.
Apple has collaborated with Broadcom for many years, with the company providing important chips for devices like the AirPort and iPhone 5S.
