Apple said it is expanding its U.S. manufacturing footprint with a new $400 million investment tied to suppliers Bosch, Cirrus Logic, TDK and Qnity Electronics, extending a broader push to bring more critical components and materials closer to home. The spending runs through 2030 and is part of Apple’s previously announced $600 billion, four-year U.S. manufacturing commitment.
The new partnerships center on parts that sit deep inside Apple’s hardware stack. TDK will make sensors in the United States for Apple for the first time. Cirrus Logic will work with GlobalFoundries in Malta, New York, on semiconductor process technology tied to Apple features including Face ID. Apple, Bosch and TSMC also will collaborate on sensing chips at TSMC’s Washington state facility.
To be clear, this is not iPhone assembly coming to America, rather a targeted effort to localize strategic pieces of Apple’s supply chain, especially chips, sensors and advanced materials. That matters because supply chain resilience, geopolitical risk and tariff pressure are all reshaping how large tech companies think about where critical technology gets made. Apple has already said it plans to shift some Mac Mini production to Houston later this year.
