Apple to increase spend with Broadcom to produce billions more U.S. chips

>Broadcom will produce advanced radio frequency components — including FBAR filters

Thin-film bulk acoustic resonator

>Trends to utilize RF spectrum more efficiently with higher frequencies than roughly 1.5–2.5 GHz and in some cases also simultaneously with increasing RF output power have supported FBAR technology to become one of the key enabling technologies in telecommunication realisations. FBAR technology complements and in some cases competes with surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology and FBAR resonators can replace crystals in crystal oscillators and crystal filters at frequencies more than 100 MHz.

When did we start using the wording "increase spend"?

Could this simply be to provide chips for the products that still haven’t transitioned yet over to Apples in-house C chip.

Like: Apple Watch, most models of iPads, Pro model of phones, etc.

Because without this deal, Apple would have had to transition all products by end-of-year.

As much as I hate the source of the tariff policies, from an uneducated outsider PoV, they do seem to be causing fewer dollars to leave the country in imports.

How does it feel from an insider perspective? Are the increased costs on imported items and dependent services worth it for a bit more local investment?
