Apple announced a new $100 billion commitment to the U.S, bringing its total U.S. investment to $600 billion over the next four years. The announcement, made today in a press release, follows a previous commitment of $500 billion from February. CEO Tim Cook is scheduled to join President Donald Trump at an event in the Oval Office to celebrate the news.
A key part of this expanded investment is the new American Manufacturing Program (AMP). This initiative aims to bring more of Apple’s supply chain and advanced manufacturing to the United States. Through the AMP, Apple will increase its investment in the country and encourage its global partners to produce more critical components domestically.
Apple already works with thousands of suppliers across all 50 states, supporting over 450,000 jobs. The company’s U.S. manufacturing efforts are significant, with approximately two-thirds of American-made components being exported to customers worldwide.
Key details from the announcement include:
- Manufacturing Expansion: The American Manufacturing Program will support a significant expansion of Apple’s partnership with Corning, creating a new smartphone glass production line in Harrodsburg, Kentucky. This will ensure every iPhone and Apple Watch sold globally is built with cover glass made in Kentucky.
- Silicon Supply Chain: Apple is focused on creating an end-to-end silicon supply chain in the U.S.. The company is collaborating with partners like TSMC in Arizona, which is producing chips for Apple using advanced process technologies, and will be the factory’s first and largest customer. Additionally, Apple is partnering with Texas Instruments to expand capacity at facilities in Lehi, Utah, and Sherman, Texas, which will produce critical foundational semiconductors.
- New Facilities and Jobs: Apple plans to hire 20,000 new employees in the U.S. over the next four years, with a focus on R&D, silicon engineering, software development, and AI and machine learning. Construction is also underway on a new 250,000-square-foot server manufacturing facility in Houston that will support Apple Intelligence and Private Cloud Compute. Additionally, Apple is expanding its data center capacity in North Carolina, Iowa, Nevada, and Oregon.
The company also announced the opening of the Apple Manufacturing Academy in Detroit, which will provide consultations and courses to small and medium-sized businesses on implementing advanced manufacturing and AI. This academy is set to open on August 19.
