Apple announced partnerships with Bosch, Cirrus Logic, TDK and Qnity Electronics to produce components in the US. The deals form part of a $600 billion commitment to US manufacturing through 2030, including $400 million for this initiative. The effort aims to create jobs and expand production across 10 states over four years.
Apple revealed on Thursday new agreements with Bosch, Cirrus Logic, TDK and Qnity Electronics to manufacture sensors, integrated circuits and other materials in the United States. This expansion supports the company's previously announced $600 billion investment in domestic production by 2030, with the latest program involving about $400 million in spending. Apple plans to generate jobs and establish new factory operations in 10 states during the next four years. The move responds to US government policies, including tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on imports and restrictions on certain foreign products deemed security risks. While full assembly of devices like the iPhone remains challenging due to costs and supply chain issues, Apple will assemble Mac Minis in Houston, Texas, later this year. Specific collaborations include TDK producing sensors; Bosch partnering with Apple and TSMC on integrated circuits in Washington state; Cirrus Logic working with Apple and GlobalFoundries on semiconductors in New York; and Qnity teaming with HD MicroSystems on electronic materials. A Bosch spokesperson expressed gratitude for the collaboration with Apple and TSMC, noting production of integrated circuits in Camas, Washington. Cirrus Logic's spokesperson stated the partnership with its largest customer, Apple, will 'continue to drive content expansion in new product areas.' Apple will also host a forum for its Apple Manufacturing Academy in Detroit from April 30 to May 1, offering training to smaller manufacturers.
