Apple signs multibillion-dollar chip deal with Broadcom for US-made components.
Apple has signed a multiyear, multibillion-dollar agreement with Broadcom for the chipmaker to supply 5G wireless components, including FBAR filters. The companies plan to design and build the FBAR filters in several U.S. manufacturing and technology hubs, including Broadcom's manufacturing facility in Fort Collins, Colo. The wireless components that Broadcom currently makes for Apple are different from the 5G modems supplied by Qualcomm.
