>> (iirc Samsung is currently making chips in Texas actually, but that's relatively recent)
Samsung has been making chips in Austin, TX since late 1990's and by mid-90's the company was making most of Apple's APs there -- remember when Tim Apple defended its China outsourcing practices by pointing out that "the engines" of their portable devices were in fact made in the US in a rare CBS interview in early 2010? Apple quickly switched to TSMC in Taiwan after that.
It seems like Samsung in turn turned their Austin production to mostly memory production lines (and some logic chips for Tesla) after Apple left for China/Taiwan.
