Inbizzy, Cupertino, California – Apple Inc. has announced an additional $100 billion investment in the United States, bringing its total U.S. commitment to $600 billion over the next four years. This milestone marks the launch of the American Manufacturing Program (AMP) — a bold initiative to strengthen Apple’s domestic supply chain, expand advanced manufacturing, and boost innovation across multiple U.S. states.
The announcement was made during an official event attended by Donald Trump and supported by multiple U.S. government officials. With this move, Apple sets the stage for one of the most ambitious industrial expansions in its history, focusing on next-generation chip development, rare earth materials, and high-precision components made in the U.S.
American Manufacturing Program: A Strategic Boost for U.S. Industry
Through AMP, Apple will collaborate with over 10 major U.S. partners, including Corning, Texas Instruments, Broadcom, Amkor, GlobalFoundries, TSMC, Samsung, and GlobalWafers America, to locally manufacture core components for Apple devices.
Here are the four key projects driving the AMP:
1. World’s Largest iPhone and Apple Watch Glass Facility – Harrodsburg, Kentucky
Apple is deepening its long-standing partnership with Corning, the renowned U.S. glass manufacturer, to build the world’s largest cover glass production line. The facility will supply glass for every iPhone and Apple Watch sold globally.
Located in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, Corning will expand its plant and jointly develop the Apple-Corning Innovation Center—a cutting-edge research hub focused on developing next-generation glass that is stronger, lighter, and more environmentally friendly.
2. Advanced Chip Production – Arizona, Texas, and Utah
Apple is building a complete end-to-end silicon chip ecosystem in the U.S., involving major players like TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) and Texas Instruments (TI).
- TSMC is constructing a chip fabrication plant in Phoenix, Arizona, using advanced process technologies. Apple will be the facility’s first and largest customer.
- Texas Instruments is expanding its operations in Sherman, Texas, and opening a new plant in Lehi, Utah, to produce critical semiconductors for Apple.
- The facilities will also utilize advanced manufacturing equipment from Applied Materials and silicon wafers from GlobalWafers America.
3. Rare Earth Magnet Production and Recycling – California
In partnership with MP Materials, the only fully integrated rare earth producer in the U.S., Apple is investing in domestic rare earth magnet production for use in Apple devices.
Main production will take place in Fort Worth, Texas, while a new recycling facility for rare earth materials will be developed in Mountain Pass, California. The aim is to build a self-sustaining and environmentally responsible magnet supply chain.
4. Advanced Chip Packaging Facility – Arizona (Amkor Technology)
Apple is also investing in a new facility by Amkor Technology in Arizona, which will become the most advanced chip packaging and testing site in the U.S.
The site will handle Apple Silicon chips produced by TSMC, used across devices such as the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Apple is expected to be the first and largest client of the facility.
Apple is also building a full end-to-end U.S. silicon supply chain, targeting production of over 19 billion chips for Apple products in 2025.
Economic Impact: 450,000 Jobs and 79 Manufacturing Facilities Nationwide
Apple currently partners with thousands of suppliers across all 50 U.S. states, supporting more than 450,000 jobs. Under AMP, the company plans to directly hire 20,000 new employees, primarily focused on R&D, silicon engineering, software development, and AI and machine learning.
The initiative involves 79 U.S.-based manufacturing sites, including the expansion of:
- Apple’s Houston server factory, set to begin mass production in 2026.
- The data center in Maiden, North Carolina, supporting iCloud and other Apple services.
- Apple’s second Austin campus, housing state-of-the-art R&D and engineering facilities.
Innovation, Energy, and Economic Sovereignty
Apple CEO Tim Cook emphasized the company’s long-term commitment to American manufacturing:
“Today, we’re proud to increase our investments across the United States to $600 billion over four years and launch our new American Manufacturing Program. We’re grateful to the President for his support.”
Chief Operating Officer Sabih Khan added:
“We’re investing in every stage of chip production — from early research to final packaging — to build a sustainable innovation ecosystem in the U.S.”
As with all Apple facilities, these new projects will be powered by 100% renewable energy, reinforcing the company’s dedication to clean, secure, and sustainable growth.
