28 Nov 2025$INTC surged after reports that the company could secure a major production order from Apple as early as 2027. The news is fueling optimism about Intel potential to reclaim a central role in advanced chip manufacturing.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo from TF International Securities notes that Intel chances of becoming an advanced manufacturing partner for Apple have strengthened significantly. Apple has reportedly signed a confidentiality agreement with Intel, gaining access to the development kit for the new 18AP process. Early testing and simulations are reportedly meeting targets, with the partnership expected to focus on producing Apple base M-series chips, the processors powering MacBook Air models and some iPad Pro devices. Shipments could reach 20 million units in 2025, with a slight decline to 15-20 million units in subsequent years.
INTC winning even part of Apple production orders would be a critical test of its renewed Foundry strategy. While Intel still lags TSMC in advanced manufacturing, this opportunity could strengthen its credibility in contract manufacturing and attract future clients. Execution will depend on Intel technological progress in the next year, with Apple expected to review more advanced 18AP development kits in early 2026 before committing to full-scale collaboration.
From Apple’s perspective, working with Intel could support U.S.-based production initiatives and reduce dependency on TSMC, the current dominant advanced chip manufacturer. The move may also increase Apple’s flexibility and capacity in chip design and supply chain management.
Intel is navigating this opportunity amid ongoing legal challenges. TSMC has filed a lawsuit to prevent Intel from hiring former senior engineer Wei-Zhen Luo, concerned that sensitive proprietary technology could be transferred. Taiwanese authorities have seized documents and computers during a criminal investigation. Intel denies any wrongdoing, stating there is no legal basis for the allegations.
Despite the legal cloud, Intel’s business fundamentals remain under scrutiny. While the company returned to technical profitability last year and analysts forecast gradual improvements, its cash flow is still negative by more than $8 billion annually, and consistent positive cash generation remains a future goal, according to S&P Global.
