Apple CEO Tim Cook met with President Donald Trump at the White House on August 6, 2025, to unveil a new pledge: the company will invest an additional $100 billion in U.S. manufacturing, raising its total commitment to $600 billion over the next four years .
This enhanced investment is part of Apple’s “American Manufacturing Program” and includes collaborations with ten U.S.-based firms such as Corning, Coherent, Applied Materials, Texas Instruments, Broadcom, and MP Materials.
A standout element is the plan for all iPhone and Apple Watch cover glass to be produced domestically at a Corning facility in Kentucky .
The announcement comes amid escalating tariffs imposed by the Trump administration — including threats of a 25% import tariff on iPhones made abroad and a sweeping 100% tariff on imported chips, which would not apply to companies expanding U.S. production .
While the investment signals a stronger domestic footprint for Apple, it does not represent a shift toward full iPhone assembly in the U.S., which remains logistically and financially challenging.
However, Trump praised the move as a major step toward making more iPhones in America .
Investors responded positively: Apple’s stock rose by around 5% following the announcement .
