Overview
- Apple announced the multiyear commitment on Wednesday that is expected to exceed $30 billion and will deepen its manufacturing partnership with Broadcom.
- The agreement calls for production of more than 15 billion U.S.‑made chips, including FBAR radio‑frequency filters used for cellular, Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth connections, and is said to support hundreds of American jobs.
- Broadcom will invest $1.5 billion to expand and modernize its Fort Collins, Colorado facility to make FBAR filters and other advanced wireless components for Apple devices.
- Company filings reported earlier this week show the underlying supply arrangement runs through 2031, giving Broadcom demand visibility that helps justify the large capital outlay.
- Apple says the deal is its largest commitment under the American Manufacturing Program and part of a broader $600 billion U.S. investment plan, a move that could strengthen domestic silicon supply and shift more connectivity component production onshore.
