By 2026, Apple plans to launch an AI server manufacturing plant in Houston, Texas, and create 20,000 research and development jobs across the U.S.

As a proud American company, we're thrilled to continue to make significant investments in the US. Today, we’re announcing a $500 billion commitment to support American innovation, advanced manufacturing, and high tech job creation. https://t.co/xoNy7zGqZG

Over the next four years, the company aims to spend and invest more than $500 billion in the United States. This amount includes all business initiatives in the country, from supplier purchases to Apple TV+ productions and educational programs.

The announcement follows media reports of a meeting between Apple CEO Tim Cook and President Donald Trump last week. The president has already thanked Apple, stating that the company’s plans reflect confidence in his administration.

While most of Apple’s consumer products are assembled abroad, many components are produced in the U.S. Among its domestic chip suppliers are Broadcom, Texas Instruments, Skyworks, and Qorvo. In January, the company began manufacturing its own chip at TSMC’s Arizona facility.

The Texas factory will be built in collaboration with Foxconn. The servers produced there will be used in data centers supporting Apple’s AI platform, Apple Intelligence. Currently, this equipment is manufactured outside the United States.

“We are optimistic about the future of American innovation and proud to build on our long-standing investments in the U.S., committing $500 billion to the future of our country,” said Tim Cook.

Earlier this February, Apple introduced an updated SE smartphone lineup with rebranded models. The iPhone 16e, priced at $599, features AI capabilities powered by Apple Intelligence.
