Apple Commits $600 Billion to U.S. Manufacturing Amid Tariff Pressures and Supply Chain Shifts

On [date not specified], Apple announced an additional $100 billion commitment to its U.S. investments, raising its total planned investment in America to $600 billion over the next four years. The announcement, made by Apple in Cupertino, California, follows recent tariff threats by President Donald Trump targeting iPhones and other products.

The new commitment includes the launch of the American Manufacturing Program (AMP), aimed at expanding Apple's supply chain and incentivizing global companies to produce more critical components in the United States. The program involves new and expanded work with 10 companies across America that manufacture parts used in Apple products sold worldwide. As part of this initiative, Apple will support the construction and expansion of several facilities:

- A $2.5 billion investment in a new iPhone glass factory.
- Construction on Apple’s second campus in Austin, Texas. The campus involves three completed office buildings exceeding one million square feet and three more under construction, including new research and development laboratories for numerous Apple engineering teams.
- Expansion of data center capacity with ongoing construction in Iowa, Nevada, Oregon, and at the Maiden facility, which supports Apple services such as iCloud, the App Store, Apple Music, iMessage, Apple TV, and Apple Sports. The Maiden facility is powered by 100 percent renewable energy sourced from Apple-procured projects.
- The beginning of production at a 250,000-square-foot server manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas, which began construction earlier this year and produced its first test unit in July. The facility is scheduled to begin mass production in 2026 and was previously manufactured outside the U.S.

Apple CEO Tim Cook stated: "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 now supports more than 450,000 jobs and works with thousands of suppliers and partners in all 50 states, including significant expansions in Arizona, California, Iowa, Kentucky, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, and Utah.

On the previous day, U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Apple CEO Tim Cook announced that Apple will increase its U.S. investment to $600 billion over the next four years. The plan involves moving more of Apple’s supply chain and advanced manufacturing operations back to the United States.

As part of this initiative, Apple is launching a new American Manufacturing Program aimed at encouraging its suppliers and partners to accelerate domestic production. The commitment is projected to directly create 20,000 new American jobs, in addition to many thousands more indirectly through its supply chain.

President Trump stated, “For years, Americans have watched as many of our leading tech giants built their factories overseas and exported American jobs abroad — but under the Trump Administration, we’re doing everything possible to make this the best place on earth to build a factory or grow businesses.”

Tim Cook emphasized Apple’s dedication to U.S. operations, saying, “We’re going to keep making investments right here in America, we’re going to keep hiring in America, and we’re going to keep building technologies at the heart of our products right here in America because we’re a proud American company, and we believe deeply in the promise of this great nation. Thank you, President Trump, for putting American innovation and American jobs front and center.”

This investment marks a significant increase in Apple’s domestic manufacturing efforts, with goals of bolstering the U.S. economy and technological leadership through large-scale capital expenditure and employment growth.
