Expansion of the American Manufacturing Program
Apple expanded its American Manufacturing Program, adding Bosch, Cirrus Logic, TDK and Qnity Electronics as U.S.-based suppliers. The company committed an additional $400 million through 2030. The expansion focuses on producing key components domestically. The move builds on Apple’s broader effort to localize parts of its supply chain.
Strategic Investment And Domestic Job Creation
The program currently supports more than 450,000 jobs across the United States. Apple plans to add 20,000 roles in the technology and manufacturing sectors over the coming years. CEO Tim Cook said the partnerships reflect continued investment in domestic production. The program is part of a wider $600 billion, four-year commitment to U.S. manufacturing and innovation.

Partnerships Driving Innovation
New partnerships extend Apple’s component production footprint. TDK will manufacture sensors in the U.S. used in devices, including camera stabilization systems. Bosch will produce integrated circuits at TSMC’s facility in Camas, Washington. The components support safety systems and activity tracking features. Cirrus Logic will co-develop mixed-signal semiconductors with GlobalFoundries in Malta, New York. The chips are used in technologies such as Face ID.
Strengthening The U.S. Supply Chain
The expansion builds on existing manufacturing activity across multiple states. Apple said it has sourced more than 20 billion chips from 24 U.S. factories in recent years. Projects include a $7 billion semiconductor packaging facility by Amkor in Arizona and a $4 billion silicon wafer plant by GlobalWafers in Texas. The company also shifted part of Mac mini production to its Houston facility.
Looking Ahead: Resilience And Policy Implications
Expansion comes as companies adjust supply chains in response to policy changes and cost pressures. Apple said it absorbed about $3.3 billion in tariff-related costs in recent years. Pricing strategy remains unchanged. Future costs may depend on shifts in U.S. trade policy and recent court decisions.
