Apple is expanding its American manufacturing program, adding new partners to drive advanced manufacturing and key component production in the United States. Apple is teaming up with Bosch, Cirrus Logic, TDK, and Qnity Electronics to produce key materials and components in the U.S. for Apple products sold worldwide. These efforts will create jobs and boost Apple’s manufacturing strength. Apple plans to invest $400 million in these new programs by 2030.
At Apple, we believe in American innovation and are proud to produce critical components in the U.S., said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. Joining with partners such as Bosch, Cirrus Logic, TDK, and Qnity Electronics expands our U.S. supply chain. This investment in American ingenuity helps us build the future together.
This expansion continues AMP’s role in Apple’s $600 billion four-year commitment to U.S. manufacturing. The program’s first partners, Amcor, Applied Materials, Broadcom, Coherent, Corning, Global Foundries, Global Wafers America, MPL Materials, Samsung, and Texas Instruments, have made significant progress in increasing advanced manufacturing and strengthening Apple’s domestic supply chain.
For the first time, long-time pulse supplier TDK will make sensors for Apple in the U.S. The two companies have collaborated for over 30 years on technologies, including TMR sensors for iPhone camera stabilization. TDK’s U.S. facility will provide these sensors for global devices, increasing the number of chips from U.S. suppliers.
Apple, Bosch, and TSMC will produce integrated sub-circuits at TSMC’s Camas, Washington, facility for Bosch’s new sensing hardware. These ICs enable features such as crash detection, activity tracking, and elevation in Apple products. So, let’s do this.
Apple is partnering with Cirrus Logic and GlobalFoundries to introduce new semiconductor processes at GlobalFoundries’ Malta, New York facility. This partnership supports Apple’s technology, enabling Cirrus Logic to develop mixed-signal solutions, including advanced Face ID ICs.
Qnity Electronics and HD Microsystems will provide advanced materials and technologies for semiconductor and electronic manufacturing, driving innovations in high-performance computing and AI, and supporting U.S. advanced component production.
Empower American jobs and manufacturing by introducing the Apple Manufacturing Academy, which was launched last fall in Detroit. Equip small and medium manufacturers with hands-on training in AI, automation, and smart manufacturing. To date, the Academy has supported nearly 150 businesses via free in-person and online sessions.
Host the Academy’s first Spring Forum, April 30 to May 1, at Michigan State University in East Lansing. Bring together students, educators, industry leaders, and businesses to discuss AI’s impact on industry. Register or learn more about the Apple Manufacturing Academy at manufacturingacademy.msu.edu.
