The new iPhone 15 series has seen sales totaling 68.79 million units since its fall release in September 2023.
Despite experiencing a decrease in sales compared to previous versions, the iPhone continues to be one of the most well-known modern products in the world.
In this graphic, we showcase the manufacturers of the iPhone 15 based on data from TrendForce.
Foxconn Remains the Dominant Supplier
Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., is a Taiwanese electronics contract manufacturer. The company produces roughly two out of every three iPhones, as well as devices for other brands like Google and Sony.
Following Foxconn is China-based Luxshare, responsible for producing 25% of the iPhone 15s.
| Manufacturer | iPhone 15 | iPhone 15 Plus | iPhone 15 Pro | iPhone 15 Pro Max |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🇹🇼 Foxconn | 70% | - | 70% | 70% |
| 🇨🇳 Luxshare | 25% | 60% | - | 30% |
| 🇹🇼 Pegatron | - | 35% | 30% | - |
| 🇮🇳 Tata Group | 5% | 5% | - | - |
In recent years, Luxshare has expanded its role in Apple’s supply chains, manufacturing other products such as the Apple Watch, AirPods, and even the Vision Pro headset. The company was one of Bloomberg’s Top 50 companies to watch in 2023, and its CEO, Wang Laichun, is one of China’s richest women with a net worth of roughly $7 billion.
Our list also includes the Taiwanese company Pegatron, responsible for 35% of iPhone 15 Plus and 30% of iPhone 15 Pro manufacturing. In addition to Apple, Pegatron has become a significant component supplier for Tesla in recent years.
India’s largest conglomerate, Tata Group, completes the group with a smaller share of production (5%). Established in 1868, the company also operates other businesses like Tata Motors, Tata Steel, and Air India.
iPhone producers also rely on a vast network of component suppliers. More than 200 companies worldwide manufacture and supply the components necessary for Apple iPhone production. These components include memory chips, glass screen interfaces, casings, and cameras.

All of the Grants Given by the U.S. CHIPS Act
Intel, TSMC, and more have received billions in subsidies from the U.S. CHIPS Act in 2024.

This visualization shows which companies are receiving grants from the U.S. CHIPS Act, as of April 25, 2024. The CHIPS Act is a federal statute signed into law by President Joe Biden that authorizes $280 billion in new funding to boost domestic research and manufacturing of semiconductors.
The grant amounts visualized in this graphic are intended to accelerate the production of semiconductor fabrication plants (fabs) across the United States.
Data and Company Highlights
The figures we used to create this graphic were collected from a variety of public news sources. The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) also maintains a tracker for CHIPS Act recipients, though at the time of writing it does not have the latest details for Micron.
| Company | Federal Grant Amount | Anticipated Investment From Company |
|---|---|---|
| 🇺🇸 Intel | $8,500,000,000 | $100,000,000,000 |
| 🇹🇼 TSMC | $6,600,000,000 | $65,000,000,000 |
| 🇰🇷 Samsung | $6,400,000,000 | $45,000,000,000 |
| 🇺🇸 Micron | $6,100,000,000 | $50,000,000,000 |
| 🇺🇸 GlobalFoundries | $1,500,000,000 | $12,000,000,000 |
| 🇺🇸 Microchip | $162,000,000 | N/A |
| 🇬🇧 BAE Systems | $35,000,000 | N/A |

Intel’s Massive Plans
Intel is receiving the largest share of the pie, with $8.5 billion in grants (plus an additional $11 billion in government loans). This grant accounts for 22% of the CHIPS Act’s total subsidies for chip production.
From Intel’s side, the company is expected to invest $100 billion to construct new fabs in Arizona and Ohio, while modernizing and/or expanding existing fabs in Oregon and New Mexico. Intel could also claim another $25 billion in credits through the U.S. Treasury Department’s Investment Tax Credit.
TSMC Expands its U.S. Presence
TSMC, the world’s largest semiconductor foundry company, is receiving a hefty $6.6 billion to construct a new chip plant with three fabs in Arizona. The Taiwanese chipmaker is expected to invest $65 billion into the project.
The plant’s first fab will be up and running in the first half of 2025, leveraging 4 nm (nanometer) technology. According to TrendForce, the other fabs will produce chips on more advanced 3 nm and 2 nm processes.
The Latest Grant Goes to Micron
Micron, the only U.S.-based manufacturer of memory chips, is set to receive $6.1 billion in grants to support its plans of investing $50 billion through 2030. This investment will be used to construct new fabs in Idaho and New York.
