Apple announced new agreements and the expansion of existing partnerships with American manufacturers of materials and components for the iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro. According to the company, nearly 100 components in these smartphones — from wireless chips to silicon elements responsible for key device functions — are produced by U.S. companies.

The new arrangements were made as part of the American Manufacturing Program (AMP), which is aimed at developing domestic manufacturing. Apple’s suppliers operate in more than 12 states, while the company itself works with businesses in all 50 U.S. states.

Titanium for the iPhone Duo and camera materials for the iPhone 18 Pro

American company Perryman Company will supply Grade 5 titanium for the iPhone Duo chassis. Apple intends to invest up to $100 million in the partnership over the next three years. Perryman will melt, forge, and roll titanium containing at least 80% recycled material.

Apple also expanded another partnership with Qnity Electronics, headquartered in Delaware. The company joined the AMP program in March and will now produce special films for the main camera of the iPhone 18 Pro. These materials are necessary for the operation of the new variable aperture system.

Broadcom, Corning, and other suppliers expand production

Apple also reported changes in its cooperation with several existing partners.

Broadcom is upgrading and expanding its facility in Fort Collins, Colorado. The work is part of a $1.5 billion investment program announced in July. It is tied to a multi-year agreement under which Broadcom is to produce more than 15 billion chips for Apple in the United States.

Corning, which has worked with Apple since the launch of the first iPhone in 2007, produces specialty glass, including Ceramic Shield, at its facility in Harrodsburg, Kentucky. By the end of 2026, all protective screen glass for iPhones, including the iPhone Duo, and Apple Watches sold worldwide is expected to be produced at this plant.

Coherent supplies VCSEL laser components from its facility in Sherman, Texas. They are used in Face ID and other iPhone and iPad features, including the updated Dynamic Island in the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.

Chip production is also expanding. More than 100 million chips for Apple are planned to be produced this year at TSMC’s facility in Arizona. Construction of the company’s new campus in the northern part of the state is continuing.

Amkor, which began preparations in September 2025 for the construction of a semiconductor packaging and testing plant in Peoria, Arizona, moved on to building the main structure this year. Apple will become one of the facility’s first customers.

Apple to direct $600 billion toward manufacturing in the United States

The AMP program was first introduced in August 2025 and is part of Apple’s four-year plan to invest $600 billion in American manufacturing. According to the company, its operations support more than 450,000 jobs in the United States.

Apple also requires all direct suppliers to switch the company’s production to renewable energy by the end of the decade. This is part of a broader goal to achieve carbon neutrality across all of its operations by 2030.

The expanded cooperation with American manufacturers covers various stages of device production, from sourcing and processing materials to manufacturing chips, glass, and camera components. At the same time, the announced investments and production plans relate to specific agreements and facilities and do not mean that all iPhone components are already made in the United States.
