Apple Commits $600B to U.S. Manufacturing, Creating 450,000 Jobs

Apple has announced a historic $600 billion investment in American manufacturing over the next four years, marking a $100 billion increase from its previous commitment. This expanded initiative, unveiled by CEO Tim Cook alongside President Donald Trump, aims to create over 450,000 jobs and build a comprehensive domestic supply chain for components like silicon chips and cover glass for iPhones and Apple Watches. Key partnerships include Texas Instruments, GlobalWafers America, Applied Materials, Samsung, and Coherent, with significant manufacturing facilities planned or underway in Texas and Utah, including a new Sherman facility and a large server factory in Houston. The American Manufacturing Program reflects Apple's strategy to reduce reliance on overseas production and aligns with President Trump's push for reshoring critical industries through measures like threatened tariffs on offshore manufacturing. These investments are expected to bolster innovation and economic growth across multiple states, supporting suppliers and manufacturing hubs nationwide. Apple’s efforts signal a major shift in the tech industry toward building essential parts and products domestically under the current administration’s economic policies.
