This deal could include at least some processors on iPhones, especially for non-Pro-branded iPhone models.

This change is expected to begin in 2028. Most likely, this processor will be manufactured on Intel's 14A process.
However, there is no information about what specific role Intel will play in designing the chip in the iPhone. It seems that the company's involvement is limited to manufacturing the microprocessor. Meanwhile, Apple is still responsible for chip design.
Basically, Intel will share part of the work with Apple's current partner TSMC. According to PhoneArena , this continues Apple's effort to diversify its supply chain.
Partnering with Intel to manufacture chips is a solution that optimizes performance and avoids risks. This change could help Apple reduce pressure on TSMC and be more flexible if global chip production struggles again.
This isn't the first time rumors of Apple "getting back together" with Intel have surfaced. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently revealed that Intel could start manufacturing lower-end M-series chips for some Macs and iPads, with the partnership rumored to begin as early as 2027.
