Apple has announced a historic $500 billion investment in the United States over the next four years, signaling a significant commitment to domestic manufacturing and job creation amid ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions.
This initiative is expected to create 20,000 jobs and includes the construction of a new manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas, dedicated to producing servers for Apple Intelligence.

The investment will also double Apple’s U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund to $10 billion and establish an academy in Detroit to train workers in advanced manufacturing and AI techniques.
The move follows President Trump’s recent tariffs on Chinese imports, which Apple aims to circumvent by expanding its U.S. operations.
Apple CEO Tim Cook emphasized the company’s confidence in American innovation and its long-standing commitment to the U.S. economy.
“We are bullish on the future of American innovation, and we’re proud to build on our long-standing U.S. investments with this $500 billion commitment to our country’s future,” Cook said in a press release. “From doubling our Advanced Manufacturing Fund, to building advanced technology in Texas, we’re thrilled to expand our support for American manufacturing. And we’ll keep working with people and companies across this country to help write an extraordinary new chapter in the history of American innovation.”
The investment is anticipated to bolster local economies and enhance contributions to the Social Security system through increased high-income jobs.
