Apple has unveiled plans to invest over $500 billion in the United States over the next four years, reinforcing its commitment to American innovation and manufacturing. This initiative will expand Apple’s facilities in Michigan, Texas, California, Arizona, Nevada, Iowa, Oregon, North Carolina, and Washington.
Expanding Manufacturing and AI Infrastructure
Apple‘s investment includes the development of a new manufacturing facility in Texas, the expansion of its U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund from $5 billion to $10 billion, and an increased focus on AI and silicon engineering. A 250,000-square-foot server manufacturing facility in Houston will begin operations in 2026, supporting Apple Intelligence and strengthening Private Cloud Compute with advanced security and energy-efficient servers.
Strengthening Silicon Manufacturing in the U.S.
Apple suppliers currently produce silicon components in 24 factories across 12 states. As part of its investment, Apple is expanding its partnership with TSMC to manufacture advanced silicon at the Fab 21 facility in Arizona. This initiative supports thousands of high-paying jobs in companies like Broadcom, Texas Instruments, Skyworks, and Qorvo.
Boosting Research & Development and Workforce Expansion
Apple will nearly double its U.S. R&D spending, hiring 20,000 new employees focused on AI, machine learning, software development, and hardware engineering. Expanding R&D hubs nationwide will accelerate advancements in custom silicon and emerging technologies.
Launching Apple Manufacturing Academy in Detroit
Apple will introduce a new Manufacturing Academy in Detroit to train workers and support businesses in transitioning to advanced manufacturing. The academy will provide expert guidance, free in-person and online courses, and collaboration with Michigan State University to develop skills in AI-driven manufacturing processes.
Supporting U.S. Economic Growth
Apple’s commitment includes investments in corporate facilities, Apple TV+ productions in 20 states, and partnerships with educational organizations like 4-H, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and FIRST. Over the past five years, Apple has paid $75 billion in U.S. taxes and remains one of the country’s largest corporate taxpayers.
This $500 billion commitment highlights Apple’s dedication to strengthening the U.S. economy, fostering job creation, and driving technological innovation in AI, silicon engineering, and manufacturing.
