Apple Announces $600 Billion Investment in the U.S

Apple Inc. has announced an additional $100 billion investment in domestic manufacturing to boost production in the United States and avoid potential tariff pressures. This new pledge, made ahead of an event with President Donald Trump, brings Apple’s total domestic investment commitment to $600 billion.

Apple’s new plan is part of its American Manufacturing Program, which aims to bring advanced technology and a significant portion of its supply chain back to the U.S. Several major suppliers, including Corning Incorporated, Applied Materials, and Texas Instruments, are participating in the initiative. Corning will dedicate a brand-new factory in Kentucky to produce Apple Glass, expected to increase local employment by 50%.

The White House stated that this move will create opportunities for domestic production of critical components, a step vital for both economic and national security. President Trump said in a statement, “My America First policy has brought trillions of dollars in investment to the United States. Apple’s announcement is another big win for our manufacturing sector.”

Earlier, Apple had announced plans to invest $500 billion over four years, which included a server manufacturing plant in Houston, a supplier academy in Michigan, and expanded work with domestic suppliers. The new $100 billion commitment is expected to focus on domestic production, AI labs, semiconductor engineering, and research on high-quality products.

This step is also seen as a strategic move to strengthen relations with the Trump administration, especially as the President recently warned that tariffs of up to 25% could be imposed if iPhone production does not increase in the U.S. Apple faced an $800 million loss last quarter due to tariffs, and the current quarter’s losses are expected to reach $1.1 billion.

Economic analysts believe the investment will enhance the U.S. technology sector’s competitive position and help mitigate tariff impacts by boosting domestic production. However, fully relocating iPhone manufacturing to the U.S. remains a significant challenge, given the large-scale and complex production facilities Apple operates in China and India, employing hundreds of thousands of workers.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said, We believe our role in advancing technology and manufacturing in the United States is crucial. This investment will have a positive impact not just on the technology industry but the entire economy.

U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed the announcement, stating, Apple’s investment proves that the United States remains the best destination for investment in the world. It will strengthen our economy and create countless high-quality jobs for Americans.”
