Broadcom disclosed on Monday it had secured a long-term supply deal through 2031 with the iPhone maker. On Wednesday, Apple said the deal will involve a radiofrequency chip called FBAR filters that will help Apple devices communicate wirelessly and which Apple has been working with Broadcom to develop since at least 2023.

As part of the deal, Broadcom will spend $1.5 billion to expand a factory in Fort Collins, Colorado. Apple said that the deal, which will result in the production of at least 15 billion chips, is part of its work with U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration to source more of its chips from the U.S.
