As far as I can tell, the real story is:

Apple has an at least three R&D facilities in Israel. Has for a long time.
This group designed a Wi-Fi/BT chip and a 5G modem for the cost-reduced version of the iPhone 17.
They'll be fabbed somewhere in Asia, just like everything Apple "makes"

Israeli-designed silicon in the communication chipsets is still concerning for the obvious reasons. But I'd be more concerned about eavesdropping than exploding.

Exactly. They want intel over Western populations. They're not looking to sabotage the Apple brand with exploding phones.
