Apple said it expects to spend more than $30 billion in an expanded Broadcom partnership that runs through 2031, a move the company says will produce more than 15 billion U.S.-made chips and add to its American manufacturing push. Apple said the arrangement will support hundreds of U.S. jobs.

The core of the deal is not a new iPhone assembly line or a broad reshoring of Apple production. It centers on custom silicon components and wireless connectivity technologies, including FBAR radio-frequency filters that Apple and Broadcom have been developing together since at least 2023. Apple said the Broadcom pact is part of its American Manufacturing Program, which it launched in 2025 to accelerate U.S. manufacturing and build a domestic end-to-end silicon supply chain.

Broadcom will invest $1.5 billion to expand its factory in Fort Collins, Colorado, where it will make advanced radio-frequency components and wireless connectivity products for Apple. Apple said the cutting-edge parts made there are important to wireless performance and connectivity, making the Colorado plant the most visible domestic manufacturing link in the agreement.

The new deal extends a relationship that was already in motion. Apple first announced a multibillion-dollar Broadcom agreement in May 2023 for 5G radio-frequency components, including FBAR filters. Broadcom later disclosed in a June 6, 2026, filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that it had secured a long-term supply deal with Apple through 2031. Apple formally confirmed the expanded arrangement on July 8, 2026.

The numbers also sit inside a much larger U.S. spending campaign. Apple announced a $500 billion U.S. spending plan in February 2025, then raised that commitment to $600 billion over four years in August 2025 as it launched the manufacturing program. The Broadcom agreement is the largest element so far, but it still covers a specific slice of the chip supply chain rather than final device assembly, which remains largely overseas.

That makes the deal less a wholesale reset of Apple’s manufacturing footprint than a deeper commitment to the parts of the supply chain where the company can move fastest. It also fits the broader push from the Trump administration to bring more semiconductor work back into the United States, even as Apple continues to build most of its devices outside the country.
