Apple to invest in US

Apple has announced a massive $500 billion investment in the United States over the next four years, marking its largest-ever spending commitment. This move will create 20,000 new jobs as Apple accelerates research and development, artificial intelligence (AI), and silicon engineering.

The investment comes amid growing competition in AI, with major tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon increasing their efforts in generative AI. Apple aims to strengthen its position by expanding its US-based operations.

Trump Takes Credit for Apple’s Investment

Former President Donald Trump quickly responded to Apple’s announcement, claiming credit for the investment. He attributed Apple’s decision to his trade policies, which have pressured companies to move manufacturing back to the US. On Truth Social, he wrote, “The reason, faith in what we are doing. Thank you, Tim Cook and Apple!!!”

Apple, however, clarified that this investment builds on its 2021 pledge of $430 billion, which also focused on job creation and expanding US-based production.

New Jobs and Manufacturing Hub in Texas

As part of this initiative, Apple will open a new manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas, by 2026. The facility will focus on assembling AI-powered servers, creating thousands of jobs in the process. Additionally, Apple plans to establish a Manufacturing Academy in Detroit to help businesses transition to advanced manufacturing.

Currently, Apple’s suppliers produce silicon components in 24 factories across 12 states, including Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, and Utah. This latest investment will further boost domestic production.

Apple’s AI-Powered Future

Apple recently reported its best quarter ever, with $36.3 billion in profits. The company hopes its next-generation AI-powered iPhones will continue driving growth.

With increasing trade tensions and potential tariffs on China, Apple CEO Tim Cook appears to be navigating business and politics carefully. While the company remains deeply connected to China’s supply chain, its latest investment signals a stronger commitment to US innovation and job creation.
