Apple Raises U.S. Investment to $600 Billion and Launches American Manufacturing Program
On August 6, 2025, Apple CEO Tim Cook joined President Donald Trump in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington, D.C., to announce a new $100 billion commitment to America, bringing Apple's total U.S. investment to $600 billion over the next four years, alongside the launch of the new American Manufacturing Program (AMP).
Apple said the American Manufacturing Program is dedicated to bringing even more of its supply chain and advanced manufacturing to the United States. Its first partners include Corning, Coherent, GlobalWafers America, Applied Materials, Texas Instruments, Samsung, GlobalFoundries, Amkor, and Broadcom. Cook said the commitment includes new and expanded work with 10 companies across America that produce components used in Apple products sold all over the world.
Key projects include funding a major expansion of Apple's partnership with Corning to bring the world's largest and most advanced smartphone glass production line to Harrodsburg, Kentucky, so that soon every iPhone and Apple Watch sold around the world will be built with Kentucky-made cover glass, plus a new Apple-Corning Innovation Center in Kentucky; a multiyear agreement with Coherent, whose Sherman, Texas, facility produces the VCSEL lasers that enable Face ID; and an end-to-end American silicon supply chain on track to produce more than 19 billion chips for Apple products in 2025, including tens of millions of chips from TSMC in Arizona.
On facilities, Apple's 250,000-square-foot server manufacturing facility in Houston produced its first test unit in July and is slated to begin mass production in 2026, making servers previously manufactured outside the United States; the Apple Manufacturing Academy in Detroit is set to open on August 19. Apple partners with thousands of suppliers across all 50 states, supporting more than 450,000 supplier and partner jobs, and plans to directly hire 20,000 people in the United States over the next four years, the vast majority focused on R&D, silicon engineering, software development, and super intelligence (SI) and machine learning.
