Apple is taking a new step to boost the production of its products in the United States. According to Reuters, the company is set to announce a $100 billion investment plan aimed at strengthening U.S.-based manufacturing.
This new decision follows Apple’s earlier pledge to invest a total of $500 billion into the U.S. economy over the next four years.
What does the current investment plan include?
Apple’s previously announced $500 billion investment program includes:
- Opening a new high-tech facility in Houston to manufacture servers that support Apple Intelligence
- Carrying out various production projects for the Apple TV+ platform across 20 U.S. states
- Increasing collaboration with local suppliers operating within the United States
- The newly announced $100 billion investment will serve to further expand and reinforce these initiatives.
- Pressure from Trump: Move production to the U.S.
The news comes at a time when former President Donald Trump has been calling on Apple to shift more of its production from Asia to the U.S. Trump has warned the company that if such steps are not taken, it may face additional tariffs.
Most of Apple’s products are currently manufactured in China, India, and Vietnam. However, tariffs have already caused significant financial strain on the company. Apple CEO Tim Cook stated that the company incurred $800 million in extra costs in June alone and expects that amount to reach $1.1 billion in the next quarter.
Apple’s expansion of manufacturing capacity in the U.S. is significant from both economic and political perspectives. These new investments are expected to play a key role in advancing the technology sector, creating new jobs, and strengthening supply chains within the country.
At the same time, the move is seen as part of Apple’s broader strategy to reduce its dependence on foreign manufacturing and shield itself from tariff-related risks.
