Apple announced the iPhone 17e with a chip developed in Israel (opens in new tab)

Intel employs over 9000 people in Israel [1].

There's significant chip development and manufacturing talent there, so it's not really all that surprising if Apple has a team there for those purposes.

Also Apple bought out Intel's modem division in 2019 [2], so chances are that group was already Israel based under Intel.

Final nail in the coffin for anyone wishing to wean themselves off smartphones.

Intel chip designers in Haifa gave us the Pentium III, which led to the design for the Core and Core 2 CPUs.

Looks like Apple's design center is in Jerusalem.

Is this interesting for infosec reasons?

SPYWARE.

More ass licking to Trump.
