Background of Apple’s U.S. Manufacturing Plan (AMP): $600 Billion Commitment
Reports indicate that Apple launched its U.S. manufacturing plan (AMP) in 2025, committing to invest $600 billion in the U.S. by the end of this century to build an "end-to-end chip supply chain." Partners involved in Apple’s AMP include:
- Broadcom (AVGO): Designing and manufacturing customized silicon components and wireless connectivity technology, valid until 2031, with a $30 billion agreement;
- Corning (GLW): Participating in Apple’s AMP;
- GigaDevice (GFS): Participating in Apple’s AMP;
- Texas Instruments (TXN): Participating in Apple’s AMP.
This move also helps Apple diversify its supply chain, reduce dependence on geopolitically risky regions like Taiwan, and aligns with the U.S. government’s industrial policy to promote manufacturing and chip R&D domestically.
