    I’ve been saying for the past two years that Apple should stop doing business in the EU, but every time that I bring that up someone points out the manufacturer of the chip making machine is based in the EU therefore no one can pull out.

    Gross.

      Apple doesn’t buy those machines, TSMC does. Apple buys the chips from them.

      So I don’t think ASML being in the EU would stop apple from pulling out.

      Why should Apple stop doing business in the EU that makes no sense. Why would they deliberately cut themselves off from a huge potential market.
