Apple Announces American Manufacturing Program and New $100 Billion US Commitment

As President Trump is pressuring Apple to increase its manufacturing activity in the country, the company announced yesterday a new American Manufacturing Program (AMP) alongside an additional $100 billion investment in the US. Overall, the company now plans to invest $600 billion in the country over the next four years, and it’s aiming to create an end-to-end silicon supply chain in America.

“Today, Apple partners with thousands of suppliers across all 50 states, supporting more than 450,000 supplier and partner jobs. In the next four years, Apple plans to directly hire 20,000 people in the U.S. — the vast majority focused on R&D, silicon engineering, software development, and AI and machine learning,” the company said in a press release.

As part of its American Manufacturing program, Apple will be partnering with Samsung, Corning, Broadcom, Coherent, GlobalWafers America (GWA), Applied Materials, Texas Instruments (TI), GlobalFoundries, and Amkor. The company is also expanding its facilities in the US, with new data center capacity across various states and the construction of a second Apple campus in Austin, Texas.

Three announcements from Apple’s American Manufacturing Program particularly stand out: First of all, Apple announced that all iPhone and Apple Watch cover glass will be manufactured by Corning in Kentucky, with the two companies also opening a new Innovation Center in the state.

Next, Apple said that it’s working with TSMC to produce more than 19 billion chips for Apple products in 2025. The company is also partnering with Broadcom and GlobalFoundries to develop and manufacture additional cellular semiconductor components in the U.S.

Additionally, Apple announced that it’s working on a groundbreaking new chip technology with Samsung at its fab in Austin, Texas. “By bringing this technology to the U.S. first, this facility will supply chips that optimize power and performance of Apple products, including iPhone devices shipped all over the world,” the company said.

As Apple is playing catch-up in AI, the company is currently building a new manufacturing facility in Houston. It will produce advanced servers powering Apple Intelligence and the company’s Private Cloud Compute infrastructure, and mass production of these servers will begin next year.
