Apple Expands US Manufacturing with $30 Billion Broadcom Chip Deal

· · 2 min read

Apple has announced a multi-year, $30 billion agreement with Broadcom to boost US chip manufacturing. This deal expands domestic production of wireless components and includes a $1.5 billion expansion of Broadcom's Fort Collins facility.

Apple announced a landmark multi-year agreement with chipmaker Broadcom, valued at over $30 billion, to significantly expand its US manufacturing commitments. This deal, revealed on July 9, 2026, represents Apple's largest domestic manufacturing investment to date.

Boosting Domestic Chip Production

The partnership is projected to result in the production of more than 15 billion chips within the United States. A key aspect of the agreement includes a substantial $1.5 billion expansion of Broadcom’s existing facility in Fort Collins, Colorado, though Apple did not specify when this additional capacity would become fully operational.

Broadcom, a long-standing supplier of connectivity components to Apple, will now deepen its collaboration by manufacturing custom silicon products in the US. These components will include crucial wireless technologies for cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth networks across Apple's device ecosystem.

Part of a Broader US Investment Strategy

This $30 billion commitment is a central pillar of Apple’s wider $600 billion, four-year investment plan for the US, initially announced in 2025. It also stands as the largest single initiative under the company’s American Manufacturing Program, which aims to bolster domestic production throughout its extensive supply chain.

In a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Broadcom confirmed new long-term agreements with Apple to develop and supply custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) silicon products for Apple devices, extending through 2031.

Executive Vision for a US Silicon Supply Chain

Apple CEO Tim Cook emphasized that the agreement marks a significant step in the company’s ongoing efforts to invest in US manufacturing. “Apple has been working with the Administration and businesses across the US to help create an end-to-end silicon supply chain in America, and today’s announcement advances those efforts,” Cook stated. He further noted that components manufactured in Fort Collins would be instrumental in achieving the performance and connectivity expectations for Apple customers, also acknowledging support from the administration for the project.
