Apple Expands US Manufacturing Program with $400M

Apple announced on Tuesday an expansion of its American Manufacturing Program, adding four new partners and committing $400 million through 2030 to boost production of key components in the United States. The initiative involves Bosch, Cirrus Logic, TDK and Qnity Electronics, which will manufacture sensors, integrated circuits and advanced materials for Apple devices sold globally, including iPhones, Apple Watches and other products.

The partnerships aim to enhance domestic supply chains by producing essential hardware domestically for the first time in some cases. TDK, a supplier to Apple for more than 30 years, will establish U.S. manufacturing of sensors, such as tunnel magnetoresistance technology used for iPhone camera stabilization. These components will increase the volume of chips Apple sources from American silicon facilities and be integrated into devices shipped worldwide.

Bosch will collaborate with Apple and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. to produce integrated circuits for sensing hardware at TSMC's facility in Camas, Washington. The chips support features like Crash Detection, activity tracking and elevation sensing in Apple products. In Malta, New York,...
