Apple’s American Manufacturing Program has grown from a $500 billion pledge to a $600 billion one in a little over a year, and its newest and largest single commitment under that program is built specifically around adding American jobs. Every figure here comes from Apple’s own newsroom releases.
Apple’s currently shipping lineup, including iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone Duo, Apple Watch Series 12 and AirPods 5, all launched in the same year this commitment expanded, though none of those products was named in Apple’s manufacturing-program announcements themselves.
Key facts
| Commitment | Apple’s published figure |
|---|---|
| Original US pledge (Feb 2025) | More than $500 billion over four years |
| Expanded pledge (Aug 2025) | $600 billion over four years; American Manufacturing Program launched |
| New AMP partners | Added March 2026 |
| Broadcom commitment (Jul 8, 2026) | Expected to exceed $30 billion; Apple’s largest AMP commitment to date |
| Jobs language | Broadcom deal “supports hundreds of American jobs” |
A pledge that grew by $100 billion in six months
Apple announced in February 2025 that it would spend more than $500 billion in the US over four years. By August 2025, that figure had grown to $600 billion, announced alongside the American Manufacturing Program itself. Apple has not published an itemized explanation of what changed between the two announcements beyond the larger total.

The program adds partners, not just dollars
Apple added new partners to the American Manufacturing Program in March 2026, expanding the roster of US companies working under the commitment. Apple has not published a full list of every AMP partner or a running count of how many companies now participate.
Broadcom is the largest single commitment, framed around jobs
On July 8, 2026, Apple announced a new multiyear agreement with Broadcom that it calls its largest American Manufacturing Program commitment to date. Apple’s own description leads with the same language it uses across the program: the deal “supports hundreds of American jobs.” Apple has published the commitment’s scale, expected to exceed $30 billion, without publishing a job count more specific than “hundreds,” a hiring timeline, or a location breakdown beyond Broadcom’s existing Fort Collins, Colorado operations.
Where the money is going, in Apple’s own words
Apple says the Broadcom agreement enables Broadcom’s own $1.5 billion expansion and modernization of its Fort Collins facilities. That is Broadcom’s investment in its own site, made possible by Apple’s commitment, and Apple has not published how much of the $30 billion-plus figure is Apple’s direct payment to Broadcom versus how the two totals relate to each other.
A program that runs alongside a training site, not through it
The American Manufacturing Program is not limited to any single Apple product or site. Apple has separately said it is producing Mac mini through US manufacturing investment, and its new Advanced Manufacturing Center in Houston sits inside the same $600 billion commitment. Apple has kept its jobs language for the Broadcom deal and its training figures for Houston in separate announcements, without publishing a single combined jobs total for the program as a whole.
The timeline, in order
| Date | AMP milestone |
|---|---|
| February 2025 | $500 billion four-year US commitment announced |
| August 2025 | Commitment raised to $600 billion; American Manufacturing Program launched |
| March 2026 | New AMP partners added |
| July 8, 2026 | Broadcom commitment announced, Apple’s largest AMP deal to date |
| August 13, 2026 | Houston Advanced Manufacturing Center opens under the same commitment |
What Apple has not said
Apple has not published a total jobs figure for the American Manufacturing Program as a whole, only descriptions like “hundreds” for individual deals. Apple has not published a full partner list, a state-by-state breakdown of the investment, or a timetable for when the $600 billion will be fully spent. Apple has not said whether further increases to the commitment are planned.
Mac mini, one of the products tied to this same manufacturing commitment, reaches general sale Tuesday, September 22, 2026. Apple has not announced its next update to the American Manufacturing Program’s total commitment.
