| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 95 Mac Daily for Monday, January 26th, 2026. I'm your host, Chance Miller. We are |
| 0:09.7 | sponsored this week by Stuff, the clean and powerful to-do list application. Leading off today, |
| 0:16.7 | multiple reports have indicated that Apple is turning to Intel to help it manufacture future iPhone |
| 0:22.7 | chips. Now, analyst Jeff Poo is out with a new research note once again reaffirming that |
| 0:29.0 | upcoming partnership between the two companies. In December, he reported that Intel will start |
| 0:35.0 | producing chips for Apple's non-pro iPhone models starting in |
| 0:39.3 | 2008. |
| 0:41.0 | In this week's research note, who says that Intel has a solid external customer pipeline for its new 14A process, |
| 0:49.4 | which is the company's 1.4 nanometer process technology. |
| 0:53.7 | Among the companies in that pipeline are |

| 1:25.3 | in-house. The difference is, is that instead of exclusively |
| 1:29.1 | using TSM to manufacture those chips, Intel would come aboard an additional partner. This is not |
| 1:37.0 | a return to Intel chips powering the Mac or the iPhone. It's a way for Apple to diversify its |
| 1:43.2 | manufacturing and protect against the risks of having |
| 1:46.1 | one company responsible for all of its silicon. Next up today, a new report for Bloomberg |
| 1:51.7 | says that Tim Cook has quietly tapped John Turnus to manage Apple's design teams. |
| 1:57.7 | The report says that at the end of last year, Tim Cook went to John Turnus and had him |
