Apple partners with Broadcom for USA-made components
Apple has made headlines with its latest groundbreaking agreement with Broadcom, a leading American technology and advanced manufacturing company. This multiyear, multibillion-dollar collaboration marks a significant stride forward in the area of wireless technology, as the two industry powerhouses join forces to develop cutting-edge 5G radio frequency components, including the highly coveted FBAR filters, and advance wireless connectivity components.
Notably, this strategic partnership emphasizes the localization of production, with the FBAR filters being meticulously designed and manufactured in key American technology hubs such as Fort Collins, Colorado, where Broadcom has a major facility.
A huge boost for American manufacturing
Under this momentous deal, Apple aims to harness the ingenuity, creativity, and innovative spirit of American manufacturing, reinforcing its commitment to the United States' economic growth. The partnership not only strengthens Apple's existing support for Broadcom's Fort Collins FBAR filter manufacturing facility, which currently sustains over 1,100 jobs, but also enables Broadcom to invest in critical automation projects and provide training opportunities for technicians and engineers.
Furthermore, this collaboration amplifies Apple's substantial contribution to the American job market, which already encompasses 2.7 million jobs through direct employment, developer positions in the thriving iOS app economy, and partnerships with over 9,000 U.S. suppliers and manufacturers spanning various sectors across all 50 states.
Fuelling the future of 5G technology
The advent of 5G technology has ushered in a new era of consumer electronics, and Apple's significant investment in this field underscores its commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation. With billions of dollars dedicated to developing 5G capabilities, Apple aims to drive technological advancements within the United States.
This strategic move positions Apple as a driving force behind the expansion and acceleration of 5G adoption across the country, fueling innovation and job growth among companies supporting 5G infrastructure and fostering economic development.
The recent agreement with Broadcom is a testament to Apple's broader commitment to invest $430 billion in the U.S. economy over a span of five years, a commitment announced in 2021. Apple remains on track to achieve this ambitious target through direct expenditure with American suppliers, capital expenditures, data center investments, and other domestic spending avenues. This steadfast dedication further solidifies Apple's unwavering belief in America's future and its role as a key player in shaping the nation's economic landscape.

Martin, I would appreciate that you do not censor this post, as it’s informative writing.
Onur, there is a misleading statement “[…] GIFs are animated images …”. No, obviously you don’t seem to have take much notice of what you were told back in March regarding; Graphics Interchange Format (GIF).
For example, https://www.ghacks.net/2023/03/31/whats-gif-explanation-and-how-to-use-it/#comment-4562919 (if you had read my replies within that thread, you might have learnt something useful). I even mentioned, “GIF intrinsically supports animated images (GIF89a)”.
You linked to said article, [Related: …] within this article, but have somehow failed to take onboard what support you were given by several more knowledgeable people.
If you used AI to help write this article, it has failed miserably.
AI is stupid, and it will not get any better if we really know how this all works. Prove me wrong.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IYl1sTIOHI
Martin, [#comment-4569908] is only meant to be in: [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/07/09/how-to-send-gifs-on-iphone-two-different-ways/]. Whereas it appears duplicated in several recent random low-quality non relevant articles.
Obviously it [#comment-4569908] was posted: 9 July 2023. Long before this thread even existed… your database is falling over. Those comments are supposed to have unique ID values. It shouldn’t be possible to duplicate the post ID, if the database had referential integrity.
Don’t tell me!
Ghacks wants the state to step in for STATE-MANDATED associations to save jobs!!!
Bring in the dictatorship!!!
And screw Rreedom of Association – too radical for Ghacks maybe
GateKeeper ?
That’s called “appointing” businesses to do the state’s dirty work!!!!!
But the article says itself that those appointed were not happy – implying they had not choice!!!!!!

Many Authors of bloggers and advertisers certified by Softonic have joined the site, and the site is full of articles aimed at advertising and clickbait.

As it stands, except for articles by Martin Brinkmann, Mike Turcotte, and Ashwin, they are low quality, unhelpful, and even vicious. It is better not to read those articles.

By the way, if you use an RSS reader, you can track exactly where your comments are (I’m an iPad user, so I use “Feedly Classic”, but for Windows I prefer the desktop app “RSS Guard”).

We all live in digital surveillance glass houses under scrutiny of evil people because of people like Musk. It’s only fair that he takes his turn.
“Operating systems will be required to let the user choose the browser, virtual assistant and search engine of their choice. Microsoft cannot force users to use Bing or Edge. Apple will have to open up its iOS operating system to allow third-party app stores, aka allow sideloading of apps. Google, on the other hand, will need to provide users with the ability to uninstall preloaded apps (bloatware) from Android devices. Online services will need to allow users to unsubscribe from their platform easily. Gatekeepers need to provide interoperability with third-parties that offer similar services.”
Wonderful ! Let’s hope they’ll comply with that law more than they are doing with the GDPR.
