Apple boosts US investment to $600 billion, launches American Manufacturing Program

Apple has just announced a new $100 billion commitment to America, totaling its US investments at over $600 billion, with the company also launching its new American Manufacturing Program (AMP) that will bring more of Apple's supply chain and advanced manufacturing onto US soil.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said: "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. This includes new and expanded work with 10 companies across America. They produce components that are used in Apple products sold all over the world, and we're grateful to the President for his support".

Apple parts and components manufactured in the US ship to customers across the planet, with around 2/3 of the components made in the US, exported to customers across the globe.

The company partners with thousands of suppliers across all 50 states, with over 450,000 suppliers and partner jobs, while over the next four years Apple plans to directly hire 20,000 new people in the US, with the vast majority of those new employees focused on R&D, silicon engineering, software development, and AI and machine learning.

The new American Manufacturing Program (AMP) will see Apple working with its suppliers to "accelerate" manufacturing in the US, with the first AMP partners being Corning, Coherent, GlobalWafers America (GWA), Applied Materials, Texas Instruments (TI), Samsung, GlobalFoundries, Amkor, and Broadcom. Apple also confirmed last month (July 2025) that it was committed to buying American-made rare earth magnets from MP Materials.

Apple's plan with the American Manufacturing Program will see the expansion of the company's long-standing partnership with Gorilla Glass maker Corning, by bringing the most advanced smartphone glass production line to a factory located in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, USA. There are also two companies that will "soon" open a new Apple-Corning Innovation Center in Kentucky, too.

This expansion will see every iPhone and Apple Watch sold across the planet, built with Kentucky-made cover glass.

Apple has also entered a new multi-year agreement with Coherent, another long-standing partner, that makes the VCSEL lasers that enable multiple features -- these include Face ID -- on both all iPhone and iPad devices shipped across the world. These components are worked on at Coherent's facility in Sherman, Texas, USA.
