Apple to Invest $500 Billion in U.S., Create 20,000 Jobs in Major Expansion

Apple is set to invest $500 billion in the U.S. over the next four years, creating 20,000 new jobs as it expands domestic production and innovation. The move comes amid ongoing trade tensions with China and signals Apple’s commitment to strengthening its American footprint.

As part of this initiative, Apple will begin producing AI servers at a new facility in Houston, Texas, while also expanding partnerships with U.S. suppliers. Additionally, a manufacturing academy will be established in Michigan to support smaller companies. These efforts surpass Apple’s previous $430 billion commitment made in 2021.

Apple CEO Tim Cook emphasized the company’s confidence in American innovation, stating, “We’re proud to build on our long-standing U.S. investments with this $500 billion commitment to our country’s future.”

With President Trump considering additional tariffs on Chinese imports, Apple’s investment is seen as a strategic move to mitigate costs while reinforcing its role in the U.S. economy. The tech giant will also expand data center operations in Arizona, Oregon, Iowa, Nevada, and North Carolina, further solidifying its domestic infrastructure.

The company’s new jobs will focus on AI, silicon engineering, and R&D, positioning Apple at the forefront of technological advancement in the U.S. It will also double its U.S. manufacturing fund to $10 billion to drive further innovation and job creation.
