Apple Silicon Shakeup: Tech Giant Acquires Chip Design Specialist IC Mask Design

October 5, 2025

Apple Silicon : Apple rachète IC Mask Design, un spécialiste du design de puces
Apple continues to strengthen its teams responsible for the various Apple Silicon chips. This week, thanks to a statement made to the European Commission, we learned about Apple’s acquisition at the end of May of IC Mask Design and the hiring of some of its employees. Located in Limerick, Ireland, the company specialized in the subcontracted design of integrated circuits.

Apple has not disclosed its plans following this acquisition, but it is easy to imagine that the ICMD team will now be working under the supervision of Johny Srouji on Apple’s various chip projects. There’s no shortage of projects, as this year alone Apple launched two 5G modems and its Apple N1 chip, which manages Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Thread network, and is getting ready to unveil its Apple M5 chip.
