Apple plans to increase its commitment to U.S. manufacturing, according to a White House official cited in a recent report. The tech giant is expected to announce an additional $100 billion in spending to boost production of its products in the U.S. This follows a previous commitment to invest $500 billion in the country over the next four years.
The $500 billion investment includes opening a new advanced manufacturing facility in Houston to produce servers that support Apple Intelligence. It also involves producing Apple TV+ content across 20 U.S. states and collaborating with domestic suppliers.
The announcement comes amid pressure from President Trump, who has threatened to impose tariffs on Apple unless it shifts more of its manufacturing from Asia to the U.S. Currently, Apple manufactures most of its devices in India, China, and Vietnam. The company has already faced financial impacts from existing tariffs, reporting $800 million in tariff-related costs in June. CEO Tim Cook stated during a recent earnings call that Apple expects to spend $1.1 billion on tariffs in the next quarter.
