Intel chip designers in Haifa gave us the Pentium III, which led to the design for the Core and Core 2 CPUs.

Looks like Apple's design center is in Jerusalem.

Intel employs over 9000 people in Israel [1].

There's significant chip development and manufacturing talent there, so it's not really all that surprising if Apple has a team there for those purposes.

Also Apple bought out Intel's modem division in 2019 [2], so chances are that group was already Israel based under Intel.

Final nail in the coffin for anyone wishing to wean themselves off smartphones.
