Apple Expands US Manufacturing Program with $400 Million Investment

Apple is adding four new partners to its American Manufacturing Program (AMP) as part of a plan to shift more of its high-tech component production to the United States. The company expects to spend $400 million US through 2030 to support these new domestic supply chain projects.

The new partners are Bosch, Cirrus Logic, TDK, and Qnity Electronics. They will manufacture essential hardware for iPhones and other devices. Specifically, TDK will produce camera stabilization sensors in the U.S. for the first time, while Bosch and TSMC will collaborate in Washington state to build chips for features like Crash Detection and activity tracking.

In New York, Apple is working with Cirrus Logic and GlobalFoundries to develop new semiconductor technologies. These will be used for mixed-signal solutions, including the chips that power Face ID. Additionally, Qnity Electronics and HD MicroSystems will focus on materials needed for high-performance computing and AI.

“At Apple, we believe in the power of American innovation and manufacturing, and we’re proud to partner with even more companies to produce critical components and cutting-edge materials for our products right here in the U.S.,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, in a statement. He noted that the expansion is part of a broader four-year, $600 billion commitment to American innovation.

Beyond hardware, Apple is also promoting its Manufacturing Academy in Detroit, which provides AI and automation training for small businesses. The academy is set to host a forum on the impact of AI in manufacturing at Michigan State University from April 30 to May 1.

Manufacturing these components in the US will also help Apple avoid any tariffs imports. It’s part of the company’s plan to bring back manufacturing to the US as part of President Donald Trump’s push, which Cook has strongly supported.
