In Michigan, Texas, California, Arizona, Nevada, Iowa, Oregon, North Carolina, and Washington, teams and facilities will grow.
There are plans to double the U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund, build a manufacturing academy, build a new factory in Texas, and increase investments in silicon engineering and artificial intelligence.
Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, declared that the business will invest $500 billion in the US over the next four years in response to President Trump’s tariff campaign. Immediately praised as a “landmark” step in reviving U.S. manufacturing, the historic initiative follows Cook’s meeting with President Trump last week and will create 20,000 new U.S.-based employment.
This new pledge builds on Apple’s long history of investing in American innovation and advanced high-skilled manufacturing, and will support a wide range of initiatives that focus on artificial intelligence, silicon engineering, and skills development for students and workers across the country.
“With this $500 billion investment in our nation’s future, we are proud to build on our longstanding U.S. investments and we are bullish on the future of American innovation,” stated Tim Cook, CEO of Apple. We are excited to increase our support for American manufacturing by doubling our Advanced Manufacturing Fund and constructing cutting-edge technology in Texas. And we’ll continue to collaborate with individuals and businesses across to contribute to the creation of a remarkable new chapter in American invention history.
Apple suppliers already manufacture silicon in 24 factories across 12 states.
As part of this package of U.S. investments, Apple and partners will open a new advanced manufacturing facility in Houston to produce servers that support Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system that helps users write, express themselves, and get things done.
Apple will also double its U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund, create an academy in Michigan to train the next generation of U.S. manufacturers, and grow its research and development investments in the U.S. to support cutting-edge fields like silicon engineering.
The $500 billion investment include direct employment, Apple Intelligence infrastructure and data centers, corporate buildings, Apple TV+ productions in 20 states, and Apple’s engagement with thousands of suppliers in all 50 states.
With nearly $75 billion in U.S. taxes paid over the last five years, including $19 billion in 2024 alone, Apple continues to rank among the biggest taxpayers in the country.
Establishing a New Production Plant in Houston.
Later this year, Apple plans to start producing servers in Houston in collaboration with manufacturing partners as part of its new U.S. investments. When a 250,000-square-foot server manufacturing factory opens in 2026, thousands of jobs will be created.
The servers that will soon be assembled in Houston were previously made outside of the United States and are essential to the operation of Apple Intelligence. They form the basis of Private Cloud Compute, which combines the most sophisticated security architecture ever implemented at scale for AI cloud computing with potent AI processing. The servers deliver industry-leading security and performance of Apple silicon to the data center, combining years of research and development by Apple engineers.
Doubling Apple’s U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund
As part of this new commitment, Apple is doubling its U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund, which was formed in 2017 to support world-class innovation and high-skilled manufacturing employment across America. The fund, which is aimed at supporting advanced manufacturing and skill development across the nation, will rise from $5 billion to $10 billion as a result of the rising commitment.
A multibillion-dollar commitment from Apple to manufacture cutting-edge silicon at TSMC’s Fab 21 plant in Arizona is part of the fund’s expansion. With almost 2,000 employees, this cutting-edge plant manufactures the chips in the US, with Apple being its biggest customer. Apple CPUs went into mass production last month.
The silicon that Apple uses is made to give its customers amazing features, performance, and power efficiency across all of their products. Currently, 24 plants in 12 states—including Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, and Utah—manufacture silicon for Apple’s suppliers. The company’s investments in the industry support the creation of thousands of well-paying employment at American firms like as Qorvo, Texas Instruments, Skyworks, and Broadcom across the nation.
Projects in 13 states, including Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Indiana, have benefited from funding from Apple’s U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund. These projects have helped establish local companies, provide training for employees, and develop a variety of cutting-edge manufacturing techniques and materials for Apple products.
