It's a strange article. The title says Apple is the problem with the domestic chip industry and then goes on to state how Apple put in orders from both of the new domestic fabs 1-2 years ago.

Then it goes on to state that Apple stole technology when that is not actually a fact -- it's part of an ongoing legal battle that hasn't been proven (innocent until proven guilty in America right? Right?).

So, it just comes across as a weird hit-piece with some pretty shaky arguments.

It's mentioned towards the end,the author suggests extra taxes on phones made with all chips sourced from abroad.

I think a solution is something the government needs to do, I don't believe there is a free market solution to a problem caused specifically by a free market.
