Apple Announces Landmark U.S. Investment, Exceeding $500 Billion
CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA – Apple today unveiled a comprehensive plan to invest more than $500 billion in the United States over the next four years. This commitment builds on Apple’s long-standing investments, supporting innovation, advanced manufacturing, and job growth across the country.
“We’re enthusiastic about the future of American innovation, and we’re proud to build on our long-standing U.S. investments with this $500 billion commitment to our country’s future,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “From doubling our Advanced Manufacturing Fund, to building advanced technology in Texas, we’re thrilled to expand our support for American manufacturing. And we’ll keep working with people and companies across this country to help write an extraordinary new chapter in the history of American innovation.”
This substantial investment encompasses a variety of initiatives:
-
New Manufacturing Facility in Houston: Apple, in partnership with its manufacturing partners, will establish a new advanced manufacturing facility in Houston, specializing in the production of servers that support Apple Intelligence. This 250,000-square-foot facility, slated to open in 2026, is expected to generate thousands of jobs.
The servers manufactured in Houston will be integral to powering Apple Intelligence and the Private Cloud Compute system, which blends powerful AI processing with state-of-the-art security architecture for AI cloud computing.
-
Expansion of the Advanced Manufacturing Fund: Apple will double its U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund, increasing it from $5 billion to $10 billion. This fund supports manufacturing innovation and skills development across the U.S., including a multi-billion dollar commitment to produce advanced silicon at TSMC’s Fab 21 facility in Arizona.
-
Growing R&D Investments: Apple plans to significantly increase its research and development spending across the U.S. The company has nearly doubled its U.S.-based advanced R&D spend in the past five years. Expansion includes growing teams focused on custom silicon, hardware engineering, software development, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.
-
Manufacturing Academy in Detroit: To foster the transition to advanced manufacturing, Apple will launch the Apple Manufacturing Academy in Detroit. The academy will provide expert consultation, free courses, and skills development curricula for small and medium-sized businesses, teaching them about AI and smart manufacturing techniques.
Apple’s broad investment strategy underscores its dedication to American manufacturing and innovation, strengthening its supply chain and fostering economic growth across the United States. The investment includes collaboration with thousands of suppliers in all 50 states.
Apple’s investments are expected to create and support numerous jobs with existing and new suppliers across the country. Apple has already created or supports more than 2.9 million jobs in the United States through direct employment, suppliers and manufacturers, and app developers within the iOS app economy. The investment is expected to grow that number further.
Over the past five years, Apple has paid over $75 billion in U.S. taxes, including $19 billion in 2024 alone, making it one of the largest U.S. taxpayers.
Teams and facilities will be expanded in Michigan, Texas, California, Arizona, Nevada, Iowa, Oregon, North Carolina, and Washington.
Apple’s U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund has supported projects in 13 states, including Pennsylvania, Texas, and Indiana, that have helped build local businesses, train workers, and create innovative manufacturing processes and materials for Apple products.
Apple’s commitment continues to push the boundaries of innovation while supporting the U.S. economy through the creation of high-paying jobs, training programs, and the advancement of cutting-edge technologies.
