His comments imply that Cupertino has bought into the company, following in Nvidia’s footsteps after the White House took a 10% stake in the company , but there is a possibility they are erroneous.
The comment came after a reporter asked the President, “Intel stock is really high after you invested. Are you going to invest more in Intel?” Trump answered, “I like it, you know? Well, I don’t know about Intel, but I’ll invest more in other things. As you know, Intel came to see me; they needed help. And I said I’ll help you, but I want 10% of your company to go to the United States of America.” Trump also added later, “ As soon as we went in, Apple went in, Nvidia went in, a lot of smart people went in — they followed us. So, yeah, we’re doing that deal. ” [Emphasis added]
Watch On This statement has analysts and industry experts talking, as it’s seemingly a suggestion that Apple has reached an agreement with Intel regarding the latter’s overtures toward the former for a potential investment in the third quarter of 2025. Aside from that, we’ve seen clues in Apple and Broadcom job listings that both are looking for experts in Intel’s suite of EMIB packaging tech, as well as reports from sources that Apple has acquired the Intel 18A process design kit for its entry-level M-series chips.
