Apple has announced a $30 billion commitment with Broadcom, which will see the chip giant design custom silicon for Apple products and manufacture it within the US.

The deal will specifically cover advanced radio frequency components such as FBAR filters, which focus WiFi, cellular, and Bluetooth connections within mobile devices.

Broadcom has committed to spending $1.5 billion at its manufacturing site in Fort Collins, Colorado as part of the deal, which will see it modernise and expand its footprint.

In all, Apple said 15 billion chips will be made in the US as part of the deal, supporting “hundreds of American jobs”.

Tim Cook, chief executive at Apple, said: “Apple and Broadcom have a long history together, and this new phase of our partnership further accelerates our commitment to American manufacturing and innovation.

“The cutting-edge components built in Fort Collins are essential to delivering the incredible performance and connectivity our customers expect, and we’re proud to deepen our investments in U.S.-based suppliers that share our commitment to excellence and innovation. We’re grateful to the president and his administration for supporting important projects like this one.”

In an SEC filing, Broadcom specified that the deal extends Apple’s collaboration with Broadcom through 2031 and will see it will supply a range of custom silicon components “for use in multiple generations of Apple products”.

The overall investment pledge is part of Apple’s American Manufacturing Program (AMP), its plan to invest $600 billion in the US by 2028. The AMP was announced in August 2025, with Apple adding $100 billion to a previous target of $500 billion it had announced in February of that year.

Apple is increasingly shifting its reliance on overseas manufacturing to secure a domestic supply of chips for its products. Though much of its chip fabrication continues to be carried out by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Apple says it is now sourcing over 20 billion chips yearly from US partners such as Broadcom and Texas Instruments.

TSMC has also committed $165 billion to increasing its US manufacturing footprint, where it currently makes 4 nanometre (nm) chips for iPhones. However, the most advanced 3nm chips used for its flagship devices – and the 2nm chips expected to be used in are still made in Taiwan.

In February, the firm announced that it is on track to assemble its small-form desktop computer the Mac Mini in Texas for the first time, to serve the domestic market.
