Aug 06, 2025 - Apple Inc. is set to announce a new $100 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing, bringing its total commitment to $600 billion over the next four years, according to a White House official. This pledge, first reported by Reuters, builds on Apple’s earlier February 2025 announcement of a $500 billion investment aimed at enhancing American innovation, advanced manufacturing, and job creation. The new investment, to be detailed at a White House event attended by President Donald Trump and Apple CEO Tim Cook, includes the launch of an “American Manufacturing Program” focused on reshoring critical components of Apple’s supply chain to the United States.
The additional $100 billion is part of Apple’s strategy to bolster domestic production and mitigate the impact of looming tariffs on its products, particularly iPhones, which are primarily manufactured in China, India, and Vietnam. President Trump has pressured Apple to shift more manufacturing to the U.S., threatening a 25% tariff on iPhones produced abroad. In a May 2025 Truth Social post, Trump emphasized that iPhones sold in the U.S. should be made domestically, a sentiment echoed after his meeting with Cook. Apple has already faced significant tariff-related costs, with $800 million incurred in the June 2025 quarter and an estimated $1.1 billion expected in the following quarter, as noted by Cook during a recent earnings call.
The new investment will expand Apple’s existing initiatives, which include a 250,000-square-foot advanced manufacturing facility in Houston set to open in 2026 for producing AI servers to support Apple Intelligence, a manufacturing academy in Detroit, and increased spending with U.S. suppliers. The February announcement also outlined plans to create 20,000 research and development jobs and double the U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund from $5 billion to $10 billion, with a focus on producing advanced silicon at TSMC’s Fab 21 facility in Arizona. The latest pledge aims to further localize critical components, reducing reliance on overseas suppliers and aligning with the Trump administration’s “America First” economic agenda, which has secured trillions in investments to support U.S. jobs and economic security, according to White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers.
White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett highlighted the broader trend of companies investing in U.S. facilities, stating on FOX Business Network’s Mornings with Maria that firms are “moving here in droves.” The announcement comes amid escalating trade tensions, with Trump planning to impose sweeping tariffs on products containing semiconductor chips and country-specific tariffs on nations like India, which could further impact Apple’s global supply chain.
While specific details of the $100 billion allocation remain undisclosed, the initiative is expected to strengthen America’s technological infrastructure and create high-skilled jobs across states like Michigan, Texas, California, Arizona, Nevada, Iowa, Oregon, North Carolina, and Washington. Apple’s move follows similar commitments from tech giants like TSMC, Nvidia, and Texas Instruments, signaling a broader industry shift toward U.S.-based manufacturing in response to policy pressures.
