In a revealing insight, Morris Chang, the pioneering founder of TSMC, disclosed that in 2011, Apple CEO Tim Cook opted against Intel as the manufacturing partner for iPhone chips. Cook's rationale stemmed from his belief that Intel was not adept at foundry services. This decision by Cook laid the cornerstone for TSMC to eventually emerge as Apple's primary chip supplier. Since then, TSMC has been instrumental in providing cutting-edge chip manufacturing services to Apple, enabling the tech giant to maintain complete design autonomy and secure a formidable competitive edge in the market.
