"Today, we're proud to increase our investments across the United States to $600 billion over four years and launch our new American Manufacturing Program," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. "This includes new and expanded work with 10 companies across America. They produce components that are used in Apple products sold all over the world, and we're grateful to the President for his support."

Apple is establishing the American Manufacturing Program (AMP), which the company says is dedicated to bringing advanced manufacturing to the United States. AMP partners include Corning, Coherent, GlobalWafers America, Applied Materials, Amkor, Texas Instruments, Samsung, GlobalFoundries, and Broadcom.


Apple plans to use $2.5 billion of the AMP funding to expand its partnership with Corning. Corning and Apple are working together to create the "world's largest and most advanced smartphone class production line" in Corning's Kentucky factory. Apple says that 100 percent of the cover glass on iPhone and Apple Watch models sold worldwide will be made in the U.S. "soon." Apple and Corning are also going to open an "Apple-Corning Innovation Center" that will develop advanced materials and next-generation manufacturing platforms.

Apple is also working with several other companies to expand U.S. manufacturing, with a full list available on Apple's website.

People need to realize it's all coming back to the U.S. This is just the beginning.

Window dressing covering for the fact that they will never manufacture the iPhone in the United States because it's prohibitively expensive. It's all about appeasing the administration just enough that they can feel like they were respected and can claim it as a win for America. In reality Apple was likely to do this anyway.

All this just to avoid temporary tariffs imposed by a borderline fascist regime... Interesting.

Still can’t afford rent or groceries.

What’s the ETA on America being great? Asking as an everyday American, not a multimillionaire.
