FAQ
The American Manufacturing Program (AMP) is a new initiative launched by Apple to significantly expand its supply chain and advanced manufacturing capabilities within the United States, incentivizing global companies to produce critical components domestically.
Apple's investment includes building a new manufacturing plant in Houston by 2026 for AI servers, opening a manufacturing academy in Detroit, expanding work with 10 companies across America producing components for Apple products, and continuing production contributions across multiple states such as Arizona, California, and Texas.
Apple's investments currently support more than 450,000 jobs across the United States through its suppliers and partners, and part of the new investment plan aims to sustain and expand this employment impact nationwide.
Apple is increasing its US manufacturing investment partly in response to pressure from the White House and tariffs, such as the 25% tariff threatened on iPhones if production does not shift to the US, aiming to boost domestic production, reduce reliance on overseas manufacturing, and avoid steep price increases on its products.
This $100 billion increase raises Apple's total US manufacturing investment commitment to $600 billion over four years, up from the $500 billion pledged earlier in the year, marking a significant acceleration in domestic investment.
