The new iPhone 17 model supports Apple’s AI tools, features faster wireless charging, and includes the new C1X modem developed by the company’s silicon team.
All the major non-Chinese CPU developers (Intel, AMD, Arm and Apple) have chip design engineers in Israel. This has been going on for a long time (the Intel 8087 numeric coprocessor, from around 1980, was designed in Israel, and has the engineer’s Hebrew initials on the die).
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Pick virtually any advanced technology or scientific field and there’s at least one lab or company right at the cutting edge in Israel. This country has very little natural resources, a small population, has been sanctioned and blockaded in one way or another since day one, so it was an obvious choice to heavily invest into education, research and high-tech manufacturing. That’s why the gap in capabilities and standard of living between Israel and its neighbors has been ever widening.
It’s very much comparable to Taiwan in this regard and the end result is similar: You’re likely owning a whole lot of devices with tech from both countries (at the very least tech based on patents from there) or have been unknowingly using it in some other fashion.
All of this took smart minds many decades to build up. Unfortunately, Netanyahu is squandering his nation’s potential with his selfish and criminal recklessness.

Me thinks some things have changed for the worse between then and now.
I mean the magnitude of the thing has changed, but Israel has always been an immoral place to source goods and services from.
