Apple has announced its largest investments in the U.S. economy—over $500 billion over the next four years. These funds will be allocated for the development of high-tech manufacturing, artificial intelligence, semiconductor technologies, and training specialists across the country.
The company will establish a new factory in Houston, Texas, to produce servers that support Apple Intelligence—a personal AI system for users.
The factory, covering 250,000 square meters, will create thousands of jobs and provide highly secure servers for data processing. The opening is scheduled for 2026.
Apple will continue to expand research and development centers throughout the country, increasing funding in the areas of AI development, machine learning, chip design, and software. Over the next four years, the company plans to hire 20,000 specialists, most of whom will focus on research and technology.
Additionally, the company will launch the Apple Manufacturing Academy in Detroit, where specialists from Apple and universities, including Michigan State University, will assist small and medium enterprises in implementing AI and advanced manufacturing technologies. The program will include free employee training and support for process automation.
The investments will cover all 50 states, including the expansion of data centers in North Carolina, Iowa, Oregon, Arizona, and Nevada.
As reported by CNBC, the announcement of the new investments came after a meeting between Apple CEO Tim Cook and U.S. President Donald Trump. The administration is pressuring the company to expand production domestically. Currently, most of Apple's products are assembled in China.
At present, Apple supports over 2.9 million jobs in the U.S., and the launch of the new factory will create thousands more. According to the company itself, over the past five years, it has paid more than $75 billion in taxes, including $19 billion in 2024.
According to the report for the first quarter of the 2025 fiscal year, Apple's revenue grew by 4%—to $124.3 billion, while net profit increased by 7.1%—to $36.33 billion. The company stated that this is a record figure in its history.
