Apple expands its US manufacturing commitment by an additional $100 billion dollars
In a significant move, tech giant Apple has unveiled the American Manufacturing Program (AMP), a $100 billion initiative aimed at expanding its U.S. supply chain and advanced manufacturing capabilities. The announcement, made by CEO Tim Cook at the White House on August 6, 2025, is part of Apple's broader commitment to invest a total of $600 billion in the United States over the next four years (2025–2028) to stimulate domestic production.
The cornerstone of Apple's additional commitment will be the AMP. This program is designed to bring more of Apple’s supply chain and component manufacturing to the U.S., with partnerships across multiple states including Arizona, California, Iowa, Kentucky, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, and Utah.
In 2025 alone, U.S.-based semiconductor companies under AMP are expected to produce over 19 billion chips used in Apple products. This includes production at TSMC’s facility in Arizona, a key site for Apple's silicon supply chain. Approximately two-thirds of U.S.-made Apple components are exported globally, illustrating the program’s impact on both domestic manufacturing and international supply.
Apple is expanding work with 10 American companies manufacturing components critical to Apple devices, incentivizing global firms to enhance domestic production capabilities. The company has also struck a new multiyear deal with Coherent, its long-standing VCSEL laser partner, to produce the Face ID and related sensor lasers for iPhone and iPad in Texas.
The move is intended to keep Apple one step ahead of Trump's unpredictable tariff policy, which threatens to increase costs on iPhones manufactured overseas. The iPhone is currently exempt from the 25 percent tariff, which kicks off overnight and goes up to 50 percent by the end of the month.
Apple's latest manufacturing investment follows a $500 billion domestic manufacturing commitment the company announced in February. The investment will see Apple investing in growing its domestic manufacturing commitments in various directions, such as expanding its partnership with Gorilla Glass maker Corning to centralize iPhone and Apple Watch glass production at its Kentucky factory.
In a joint announcement with U.S. President Donald Trump, Apple CEO Tim Cook stated, "We're proud to increase our investments across the United States to $600 billion over four years and launch our new American Manufacturing Program." The company has also announced the opening of a manufacturing academy in Detroit in partnership with Michigan State University, aimed at educating small and mid-size businesses on smart manufacturing and AI implementation.
The American Manufacturing Program is an ambitious $100 billion initiative within a $600 billion, four-year U.S. investment plan starting in 2025, designed to boost advanced manufacturing, secure domestic chip supply, and support thousands of jobs across numerous states. The program is a testament to Apple's commitment to the United States and its efforts to strengthen its domestic manufacturing capabilities.
