Apple is expanding its US manufacturing program with Bosch, Cirrus Logic and others

Apple is bringing additional muscle to its US manufacturing efforts, partnering with four companies that will help manufacture components, including sensors and integrated circuits, for products it sells around the world.

The company said Thursday It has signed agreements with Bosch, Cirrus Logic, TDK and Qnity Electronics to manufacture materials and components in the United States as part of a $600 billion commitment. Announced last year. As part of this effort, Apple plans to add new jobs and production plants in 10 states over the next four years.

Apple said this part of the US manufacturing program will represent $400 million in spending through 2030.

The program is part of the tech giant’s bow to large-scale government efforts to benefit local businesses. The Trump administration imposed heavy tariffs and banned some products from other countries. Such as routers And droneswhich she described as a security risk.

In response to the additional costs of tariffs and some of that political pressure, Apple has moved some of its manufacturing away from China and agreed to manufacture more of its products — but certainly not all — in the United States.

However, it is almost impossible to manufacture such a product iPhone entirely in the United States Due to high labor and production costs, as well as the lack of an integrated supply chain. Consider the case of what has not yet been launched Trump branded phonewhich was dropped Claim “Made in USA”. on Trump Mobile shortly after its announcement.

TDK will manufacture sensors for Apple products while Bosch will work with Apple and TSMC on integrated circuits in Washington state, Apple said in its announcement. Cirrus Logic will collaborate with Apple and GlobalFoundries to develop semiconductor technologies in New York. Qnity will work with HD MicroSystems on materials for semiconductors and other electronics.

A Bosch spokesperson said the company is grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Apple and TSMC, and that integrated circuits for its new sensors will be manufactured in Camas, Washington.

A Cirrus Logic spokesperson said its collaboration with Apple, its largest customer, “will continue to drive content expansion into new product areas.”

Apple said it is hosting a spring forum Apple Manufacturing Academy In Detroit from April 30 to May 1 to provide training to small and medium-sized manufacturers.
