National origin of my iPhone chip? Israel?

Apple, to the best of my knowledge, does not make the details of their supply chain and logistics public.

Also, don't believe everything you see on social media. In fact, unless it's your sister posting pictures of her kid's birthday party, assume it's fake. Look to actual news sites. They're not perfect but they're orders of magnitude better than TikTok.

Discussions of politics break the rules here. But Apple doesn't need a reason to remove your post.

The Hezbollah terrorists were so paranoid that Israel could track the locations of their cell phones that they ordered a special batch of secure pagers in hopes of not being tracked. Do you really think they'd order those pagers from anyone in Israel?

Also, do you think that it was the chips that exploded? Much more likely is that the special batch of pagers, meant for Hezbollah, were modified to contain a small amount of plastic explosives.

There would be absolutely no incentive for Israel to manufacture "exploding chips" to put into devices sold to the general public, whether Apple used such chips, or not.

Apple's not refused you anything because Apple isn't here. It's a user-to-user forum and you've just asked other users none of whom can answer your question.

If you want to ask Apple their address is 1 Apple Park Way, Cupertino, California, USA, 95014.

I have seen multiple social media posts recently saying Apple chips are now made in Israel. Given how devices tampered with by their intelligence exploded killing and maiming users, I would like to know if my phone’s parts were built there. Just as worrying, though, is the fact that I posted this question one hour ago here, and although it doesn’t break ANY rules or guidelines, ***

The Hezbollah example you speak of has NOTHING to do with Apple or Apple's supply chain. They were pagers, not manufactured by or for Apple in any way. You are being completely paranoid and I still expect your post to be removed a second time.

Also, we don't honestly care what phone you buy. Samsung and Google also source parts from many different countries around the world. None of the manufacturers are obligated to tell you where individual parts are manufactured.

That's entirely up to you. No one in this user-to-user forum cares.

And from what I have gathered from official responses from Apple and from you yourself say, it seems like the “tiktok” posts saying Apple chips come from Israel are actually correct.

I have no idea where you're getting the idea that I think social media is correct on this issue. I did not say that. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day, so perhaps they are. Or it's just more bots rage-baiting. I suggested you ignore social media. In fact, ignore it entirely. It's far better for your mental health.

As someone once said, you can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. It has, I believe, been attributed to Swift.

Choose any brand you wish and also consider where that brand sources its materials for components, if you can but I expect you will not. You certainly would not want to be supported blood money or slave labor, would you?

More things to consider are Environmental impact and toxic materials that may be used in those devices. That directly impacts you and all future generations. Apple provides regular Environmental Reports and you can learn more here:

Environment - Reports - Apple

That just leaves you with an empty threat to abandon your Apple device and you have no alternative other than a can with 2 strings on it. Make sure there is no lead in those cans as that may be harmful too.
