Apple has made a landmark announcement to expand its operations in the United States. The company will increase its domestic investment by $100 billion, bringing its total U.S. commitment to $600 billion over the next four years. Furthermore, this expansion marks the launch of the American Manufacturing Program (AMP) — a bold strategy to rebuild and localize supply chain on American soil.
The AMP will strengthen Apple’s partnerships with U.S.-based suppliers. Moreover, it aims to create a full-scale technology ecosystem within the country. Apple plans to relocate essential operations, such as chip production and data infrastructure, to the U.S. As a result, this move will generate thousands of jobs and reinforce America’s leadership in advanced technologies. Currently, Apple supports over 450,000 jobs across the nation. Now, it plans to hire 20,000 additional employees in R&D, AI, silicon engineering, and software development.
CEO Tim Cook emphasized the company’s long-term vision during the announcement. “We’re proud to grow our U.S. investments to $600 billion and introduce the American Manufacturing Program,” he said. “This includes new and expanded partnerships with 10 American companies that build components for Apple products used around the world. We’re grateful for the President’s continued support.”
As part of this initiative, company is collaborating with 10 key U.S. manufacturers: Corning, Coherent, GlobalWafers America, Applied Materials, Texas Instruments, Samsung, GlobalFoundries, Amkor, Broadcom, and MP Materials. These firms play a crucial role in Apple’s supply chain and innovation strategy.
In Kentucky, Apple and Corning are building the world’s most advanced smartphone glass production line. This facility will supply all cover glass for iPhones and Apple Watches. In addition, the two companies will open an innovation center to further drive materials science research in the state.
Meanwhile, in Texas, Apple has partnered with Coherent to produce the lasers used in Face ID and other iPhone features. At the same time, Apple and MP Materials are manufacturing rare-earth magnets in Fort Worth. Notably, they are also establishing the first rare-earth recycling facility in the U.S., located in California.
Apple is also focused on developing a fully domestic silicon supply chain. In fact, it expects to produce over 19 billion chips in the U.S. in 2025 alone. This effort includes a major partnership with TSMC at its Arizona fabrication plant, where Apple is the primary customer.
To support chip production, Apple is partnering with GlobalWafers America in Sherman, Texas. This facility manufactures 300mm silicon wafers using U.S.-sourced materials. These wafers, in turn, are critical to powering iPhones and iPads.
Furthermore, in Austin, Apple is working with Applied Materials to scale up the production of chip-making tools. Simultaneously, Texas Instruments is expanding its facilities in Utah and Texas with Apple’s backing. These sites will produce semiconductors that are vital to the performance of future Apple products.
Samsung is also contributing significantly through a breakthrough chip fabrication technology at its Austin facility. This innovation, launching globally for the first time, will dramatically improve the energy efficiency and performance of Apple devices.
In New York, GlobalFoundries is working with Apple to develop advanced components for wireless communication and power management. Consequently, this collaboration will enhance battery life and connectivity in Apple’s next-generation products.
To complete the chip development process, Amkor is building a state-of-the-art chip packaging and testing facility in Arizona. Apple will be the site’s first and largest customer. Thus, chips manufactured at TSMC’s Arizona fab will be tested and packaged nearby, completing a fully localized supply chain.
Beyond silicon, Apple is making significant investments in digital infrastructure. In Houston, it is constructing a 250,000-square-foot server facility. These servers, powered by custom Apple silicon, will support Apple Intelligence and Private Cloud Compute — both optimized for AI performance and user privacy.
In Detroit, they will launch its Manufacturing Academy on August 19. The academy aims to train small and mid-sized U.S. manufacturers in advanced production techniques and AI integration.
At the same time, it is expanding its data center network across North Carolina, Iowa, Nevada, and Oregon. For example, the facility in Maiden, NC, supports services like iCloud and Music. Like all Apple data centers, it is powered entirely by renewable energy.
Meanwhile, Apple is also progressing with the construction of its second campus in Austin. This site will feature advanced R&D facilities and support Apple’s growing workforce in Texas, which already exceeds 13,000 employees.
In conclusion, Apple’s $600 billion investment marks a significant shift in U.S. manufacturing and technological innovation. Through the American Manufacturing Program, Apple is not only scaling its domestic operations — it is also building a robust, self-reliant technology ecosystem that will sustain America’s innovation leadership well into the future.
