"Apple intends to pay the new AMP members out of a $400 million pot through 2030, as part of a broader pledge to spend $600 billion on US manufacturing by the end of the decade."
"TDK will soon begin making sensors in the US for iPhone cameras, which will be shipped all over the world, while TSMC will manufacture integrated circuits for Apple sensors at its Washington state facility."
"Apple has long maintained that it is unlikely to manufacture iPhones on US soil as it is impractical due to costs, supply chain complexity, and workforce requirements training."
Apple's American Manufacturing Program is growing, with suppliers like Bosch, Cirrus Logic, TDK, and Qnity Electronics producing iPhone components in the US. These parts will be shipped overseas for final assembly. Apple plans to invest $600 billion in US manufacturing by 2030 to avoid tariffs. Despite this expansion, iPhones are not being manufactured in the US due to impractical costs and supply chain complexities. New AMP members will produce various components, including sensors and integrated circuits, for Apple devices.
