Apple agreed a multi-year deal with Broadcom that will exceed $30 billion, its largest U.S. manufacturing commitment to date.

The agreement is expected to produce more than 15 billion U.S.-made chips and includes a $1.5 billion expansion of Broadcom’s Fort Collins, Colorado facility, deepening the iPhone maker’s ties to a longtime supplier.

"Apple has been working with the Administration and businesses across the U.S. to help create an end-to-end silicon supply chain in America, and today’s announcement advances those efforts," Apple said in the release.

Broadcom will make wireless components that enable cellular, Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for Apple devices, moving more custom silicon production onto U.S. soil.

Broadcom disclosed in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that the companies have new long-term agreements to develop and supply "custom ASIC silicon products" for multiple generations of Apple products through 2031, noting ASICs are increasingly used for artificial intelligence workloads.

The deal is the largest piece of Apple’s $600 billion, four-year U.S. investment plan announced in 2025 and forms part of the company’s American Manufacturing Program as outgoing CEO Tim Cook continues to promote domestic production to U.S. policymakers.
