Apple, under pressure from Trump, says it's boosting U.S. investment
Apple said Wednesday that it would expand its planned investment in the United States as it faces pressure from President Donald Trump to shift its supply chain to American soil. The splashy announcement came hours before Trump's wave of country-specific tariffs were set to go into effect. The president's levy barrage isn't over yet. He said Tuesday that shortly he will be announcing tariffs on semiconductors, which could affect iPhones, iPads, MacBooks and other popular Apple products. The announcement came as Apple CEO Tim Cook visited the White House to speak about the investment alongside Trump. The tech giant said it will manufacture the glass covers on all iPhones and Apple Watch devices sold worldwide in in the United States. Apple said manufacturing firm Corning will produce that glass at its Harrodsburg, Kentucky plant under a $2.5 billion commitment. "Apple will massively increase spending on its domestic supply chain for the iPhone, and will build the largest and most sophisticated smart glass production line in the world," Trump said. That plant has been producing glass products for over 60 years, according to a post on Corning's website. In 2021, Apple said Corning already supplied glass for iPhone, Apple Watch and iPad. Apple also said at the time that 'every generation of iPhone glass has been made' at the plant named in Wednesday's announcement. Apple supplier Applied Materials also announced that it would invest $200 million in an Arizona factory that manufactures chip-making equipment. That equipment will be used by Texas Instruments, another Apple supplier, to make some semiconductors used in Apple's products. Apple said the glass manufacturing announcement was part of a $600 billion commitment to bring parts of its supply chains to the U.S. Previously, the company had vowed to invest $500 billion over the next four years. "Apple will also build a 250,000-square-foot server manufacturing facility in Houston, and invest billions of dollars to construct data centers across the country from North Carolina to Iowa to Oregon," Trump also said. However, Wednesday's announcement doesn't mean manufacturing or assembly of any of the company's major products, such as the iPhone, iPad or MacBook, will come to the states. Most of Apple's most popular products are currently exempt from tariffs while the Commerce Department conducts a so-called Section 232 investigation to determine the national security impact of importing those products and their parts. Despite the exemptions, Apple took an $800 million hit in the last quarter from tariffs and predicted it will take another $1.5 billion hit in the next three months. In a May social media post, Trump said: 'I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhone's that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else.' Apple's investment bears some similarities to recent announcements from the president. OpenAI, Oracle and Japan's Softbank collectively pledged $500 billion to invest in building out data centers across the country to power artificial intelligence applications. But months after being announced the plans reportedly hit some snags. The three firms said they would 'immediately' begin investing but now the plans call for just one small data center in Ohio by the end of the year. A trade agreement between the Trump administration and the European Union included what they said would be $600 billion of investments in the United States and $750 billion of energy purchases. 'They gave me $600 billion, and that's a gift,' Trump said on CNBC Tuesday. 'They gave us $600 billion that we can invest in anything we want.' However, the E.U. said in a statement that European companies have only 'expressed interest in investing at least $600 billion.' The E.U. does not have any mechanism in place to incentivize those investments. Similarly, the E.U. has said $750 billion is only a projection of potential energy purchases over the next 3 years.

Apple details $100 billion U.S. spending expansion, including $2.5 billion for an iPhone glass factory
Apple on Wednesday announced it will spend an additional $100 billion on U.S. companies and suppliers over the next four years. The company said its investment would incentivize overseas companies to buy more U.S.-made parts. The commitment is on top of a $500 billion announcement that Apple made in February. Apple said that it had created the so-called American Manufacturing Program that includes Corning, Coherent, GlobalWafers, Applied Materials, Texas Instruments, Samsung, GlobalFoundries, Amkor and Broadcom. For one aspect of the program, Apple said it would spend $2.5 billion to fund a major expansion with Corning, which makes glass for iPhones in Kentucky. Apple said that all glass for iPhones and Apple Watches will be manufactured in the U.S. Apple also said it had a multiyear supply agreement with Coherent to produce lasers for the iPhone's facial recognition system. CEO Tim Cook will join President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Wednesday to tout the latest plans to spend and invest in the U.S. Apple's Wednesday announcement doesn't include significant increases in domestic production for its devices. Apple has made similar announcements in the past. In 2018, under pressure during the first Trump administration, Apple committed to spend $350 billion in the U.S. over five years, or about $70 billion per year. In 2021, Apple announced plans to spend $430 billion over five years, or $86 billion per year in the U.S. Wednesday's announcement has the company at $600 billion over four years, or $125 billion per year. The company also faces increased tariffs that could hurt its profits. It's currently paying for tariffs placed on Chinese imports earlier this year, and faces increased import taxes on semiconductors when the Trump Administration finishes a so-called Section 232 investigation. Apple said in May that the majority of phones it's selling in the U.S. are assembled in India to avoid Chinese tariffs, and although tariffs on India are going up to 25%, White House sources told CNBC that the iPhone maker will be "largely unaffected" by the India tariffs. Apple said that tariffs could cost the company $1.1 billion in the current quarter.

Apple makes $100 billion genius move to skirt huge problem
Apple makes $100 billion genius move to skirt huge problem originally appeared on TheStreet. Apple CEO Tim Cook has a lot on his plate. Even as Apple has the most loyal fan base of just about any brand on Earth, its customers have hesitated to upgrade their current iPhones, putting significant pressure on the company to develop more compelling features. The Trump administration's trade war with China has made matters even more difficult, as it has put Apple in the crosshairs here and abroad over iPhone manufacturing. 💵💰💰💵 Amid the US-China tit-for-tat, Apple has faced restrictions on iPhone use in China for alleged security risks. It has drawn friendly fire in the US from President Trump, who has lambasted the company for making its iPhones overseas rather than in America. Those headwinds are stiff, but perhaps Cook's latest decision to double down on its commitment to the US will take him out of the White House's line of fire. Apple's CEO to commit $100 billion to US manufacturing Cook and Trump are expected to announce on Aug. 6 that Apple () will make a fresh $100 billion investment into its US footprint. The move is a significant addition to the company's previous commitment to spend $500 billion over four years, announced in commitment included promises for a new server facility in Houston, a bump in funding for its Advanced Manufacturing Fund, which helps support domestic semiconductor manufacturing, and a Detroit-based manufacturing academy to provide free classes on project management and manufacturing processes. Apple projected its previous deal would create 20,000 new high-tech jobs in research and development, semiconductor engineering, and software engineering. The additional $100 billion is reportedly aimed at bolstering Apple's US supply chain and helping it avoid costly tariffs on components imported from overseas. Tariffs are a major problem for Apple given overseas production Apple's reliance on China for iPhone manufacturing has declined since Trump first placed tariffs on China in 2018. However, Apple continues to manufacture iPhones overseas, including in India. Reportedly, Apple suppliers Foxconn and Tata Electronics airlifted about $2 billion of iPhones, roughly 1.5 million devices, from India in March and April to avoid Trump's newly imposed import on a trade deal with India are underway, but tariffs on imports from India currently total 25%. An additional 25% tariff was signed via a Trump executive order on Aug. 6, tied to India's imports of Russian oil. It that tariff stands, it will kick in Aug. 27. Smartphones, computers and laptops are temporarily exempted, but tariffs are expected. It's not a stretch to think that India's evolving tariff situation may be one reason behind Apple's latest investment. Tariffs on Vietnam are 20%, affecting iPads, Apple Watches and AirPods, and there is no exemption. "In terms of the country of origin, it's the same as I referenced last quarter," said Cook on Apple's June-quarter earnings conference call. There hasn't been a change to that, which is the vast majority of the iPhone sold in the U.S. or the majority, I should say, have a country of origin of India. "The vast majority of the products, other products, the Mac and the iPad and the Watch, have a country of origin of Vietnam that are sold in the United States." Undeniably, tariffs have been a major speed bump for Apple, shaving big money off the bottom line. "For the June quarter, we incurred approximately $800 million of tariff-related costs," said Cook on Apple's recent earnings conference call, "For the September quarter, assuming the current global tariff rates, policies and applications do not change for the balance of the quarter and no new tariffs are added, we estimate the impact to add about $1.1 billion to our costs." The big problem Apple faces isn't tariffs ... It's AI The tariff headache isn't just because it hamstrings money that could go to innovation. It's also a distraction from the company's central problem: the belief that it's falling behind regarding artificial intelligence. Rivals have plowed big money into chatbots like Google's Gemini, Anthropic's Claude, Perplexity, and OpenAI's ChatGPT. Those services are shifting how consumers interact with information, and new AI apps will likely affect how consumers entertain themselves. So far, Apple Intelligence has underwhelmed more than the others, prompting calls for Apple to make a splash via M&A. Reports have swirled that Perplexity may be on Apple's radar to accelerate its AI road map. If Apple can crack the AI nut, it might finally uncork the long-awaited upgrade cycle. According to TelemetryDeck, the most popular iPhone model is the 13, which was released in 2021 and represents 16% of active iPhones. The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max have a combined market share of just 20%. If Apple can launch AI features compelling enough, new sales from upgrades could be worth billions, given Apple generated nearly $45 billion in iPhone revenue in the June makes $100 billion genius move to skirt huge problem first appeared on TheStreet on Aug 6, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Aug 6, 2025, where it first appeared.
