Took them a week to realize they have no alternative, at least in short term? :)
Not just short term but middle term as well. It takes at min to build a new fab factory, 5 years. At min. Plus no one has TSMC 4nm tech.
 
This may be more difficult than you imagine. Semiconductors is very, very competitive business with huge long term investments and enormous know-how.
Apple will not get into this business. No way. They would get kill by intel, tsmc, amd and nvidia.
 
Can’t believe apple haven’t invested in fabrication in the usa

What’s stopping them ? I thought they wanted to do everything in house

Why would Apple need to?
Hon Hai/aka Foxconn already committed two major assemblies in the USA to go online in 4yrs or less. TSMC as well for fabs. Remember each serve many more customers - Apple doesn’t need to thrown in waste less $$
