Apple has announced a major expansion of its American Manufacturing Program (AMP), strengthening domestic production and innovation in the United States. The company will invest $400 million through 2030 to support new partnerships and accelerate advanced manufacturing capabilities.
Apple is collaborating with key global suppliers including Bosch, Cirrus Logic, TDK Corporation, and Qnity Electronics. These partnerships aim to manufacture critical components and materials within the U.S., supporting Apple products sold globally while generating employment and strengthening the American industrial ecosystem.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said the AMP expansion is a key pillar of Apple’s broader $600 billion, four-year investment plan focused on U.S. manufacturing and technology advancement.
The program builds on existing collaborations with major industry players such as Amkor Technology, Applied Materials, Broadcom, Corning, GlobalFoundries, Samsung Electronics, and Texas Instruments. These partners have already achieved significant milestones in expanding advanced manufacturing capabilities within the U.S.
A notable development includes TDK manufacturing tunnel magnetoresistance sensors domestically for the first time. These sensors play a critical role in enabling features such as camera stabilization in iPhones, marking a significant step in localizing Apple’s silicon supply chain.
Additionally, Apple is working with Bosch and TSMC to produce integrated circuits at TSMC’s Washington facility. These components are essential for features like crash detection, activity tracking, and elevation sensing in Apple devices.
In another strategic move, Cirrus Logic and GlobalFoundries are collaborating to introduce advanced semiconductor process technologies at GlobalFoundries’ New York facility. This will support the development of mixed-signal solutions, including chips powering Face ID systems in Apple products.
Apple is also partnering with Qnity Electronics and HD MicroSystems to develop next-generation materials and technologies for semiconductor manufacturing, high-performance computing, and AI applications. These efforts aim to strengthen the U.S. position in advanced electronics and critical component production.
Beyond manufacturing, Apple continues to invest in workforce development through its Apple Manufacturing Academy in Detroit. The initiative provides hands-on training in AI, automation, and smart manufacturing, having already supported nearly 150 businesses. The academy is set to host its inaugural Spring Forum at Michigan State University, bringing together industry leaders, educators, and students to explore the impact of AI on manufacturing.
