Apple has announced a $100 billion investment in expanding its manufacturing operations in the United States. This move comes in response to pressure from President Donald Trump to bring more Apple production back to the US. The investment includes a partnership with Corning to manufacture iPhone and Apple Watch cover glass in Kentucky, as well as collaborating with Samsung to launch a new chip-making technology in Austin, Texas. Apple's Houston-based server factory is also set to begin mass production in 2026, while the company is expanding its data center in North Carolina. Additionally, Apple is opening a manufacturing academy in Michigan to train American companies in advanced manufacturing techniques. This investment builds upon the company's previous plan to invest $500 billion in the US over the next four years. The move is seen as an attempt by Apple to appease the Trump administration, which has criticized the company for not doing enough to manufacture products domestically. Apple has previously shifted some of its manufacturing to countries like Vietnam and India to avoid tariffs, which have added to the company's costs.
