Apple expands U.S. manufacturing ambitions with $600 Billion investment

Apple is launching a massive new manufacturing initiative aimed at reshaping how its products are built—with the United States at the center of that vision. CEO Tim Cook met with former President Donald Trump in the Oval Office today to discuss the company’s expanded commitment, which now totals $600 billion over four years.

At the heart of this move is the launch of the American Manufacturing Program (AMP), a national effort by Apple to fuel innovation, production, and job creation within the United States. As part of this initiative, Apple is deepening its ties with Corning, investing $2.5 billion to supercharge the production of smartphone glass at a new advanced facility in Kentucky. According to Apple, this will soon make the U.S. the sole source of all cover glass used in iPhones and Apple Watches globally.

The two companies are also opening a new Apple-Corning Innovation Center, which will focus on pioneering advanced materials and novel production methods, pushing the boundaries of how Apple devices are designed and built.

But Apple isn’t stopping at glass. Through AMP, the company is collaborating with 10 major suppliers across semiconductors, components, and materials, including GlobalFoundries, Broadcom, Samsung, Amkor, and Texas Instruments. These partnerships aim to accelerate domestic manufacturing capabilities in critical tech sectors that have historically been outsourced.

The announcement marks a significant acceleration from Apple’s earlier pledge of $500 billion in U.S. investments. While the original commitment focused broadly on infrastructure and operations, AMP represents a strategic shift toward scaling domestic production and reducing dependency on international supply chains.

Apple says AMP is designed not just to meet today’s manufacturing needs, but to lay the groundwork for future breakthroughs in American technology.
