Apple details 4 new ways it’s bringing product component manufacturing to the US

Apple is expanding its American Manufacturing Program and bringing more component production to the United States. The company named new AMP partners and detailed how each helps it increase advanced manufacturing in America.

Apple names four new AMP members

Apple says that Bosch, Cirrus Logic, TDK, and Qnity Electronics are now members of its American Manufacturing Program.

Now through 2030, Apple plans to spend $400 million with these four companies to “manufacture essential materials and components in the U.S. for Apple products sold around the world, creating jobs and strengthening America’s manufacturing capabilities.”

The spending is part of Apple’s “$600 billion, four-year commitment to U.S. manufacturing and innovation.”

Here’s how they’re helping

More details from Apple’s announcement today:

• TDK’s U.S. facility will supply TMR sensors in devices shipped all over the world, and will increase the volume of chips that Apple will source from U.S. silicon supply chains.
• Apple, Bosch, and TSMC will work together to produce integrated circuits (ICs) for Bosch’s new sensing hardware at TSMC Washington in Camas, Washington.
• Apple is also working with Cirrus Logic and GlobalFoundries to establish new semiconductor process technologies at GlobalFoundries’ facility in Malta, New York. 
• Qnity Electronics and HD MicroSystems will provide cutting-edge materials and technologies essential for semiconductor manufacturing and advanced electronics.

Later this year, Apple will begin producing a portion of its Mac mini supply in the United States for the first time, joining Mac Pro production. (Separately, the Mac Pro probably isn’t long for this world.)

Apple has also sourced its global iPhone and Apple Watch cover glass from the United States as part of its effort to support American manufacturing and component production.
