Apple is deepening its ties with chipmaker Broadcom through a new multi-year agreement expected to top $30 billion, the tech giant announced Wednesday. The deal represents Apple’s largest domestic manufacturing commitment to date.
What the Deal Includes
Under the agreement, Broadcom will produce more than 15 billion chips on U.S. soil for Apple. As part of the expansion, Broadcom will invest $1.5 billion to grow its facility in Fort Collins, Colorado. Apple has not yet specified when the additional production capacity will be operational, according to reports.
Broadcom has historically been a supplier of connectivity hardware to Apple, but this agreement pushes that relationship further into custom, U.S.-manufactured chip production. Specifically, Broadcom will build wireless components that power cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity across Apple’s devices.
In a securities filing made public Monday, Broadcom confirmed it had signed new long-term contracts with Apple to design and supply custom application-specific integrated circuits, or ASICs, for several future generations of Apple products through 2031. These chips — increasingly central to AI computing — represent a growing focus for both companies.
Part of a Larger U.S. Manufacturing Push
The announcement is the latest move by outgoing Apple CEO Tim Cook to expand the company’s American manufacturing footprint, an area of continued emphasis under the Trump administration. It’s also the single largest investment so far under Apple’s American Manufacturing Program (AMP), an initiative aimed at building out domestic production across its supply chain.
This deal is a major component of Apple’s broader $600 billion, four-year U.S. investment plan, first unveiled in 2025.
In its announcement, Apple noted it has been collaborating with the administration and other American companies to build what it calls an “end-to-end silicon supply chain” within the United States.
Cook emphasized the importance of the Fort Collins-built components, saying they are critical to the performance and connectivity that Apple customers rely on, and credited President Donald Trump and his administration for backing the project.
Broadcom CEO Hock Tan echoed that sentiment, saying Apple’s commitment will enable his company to grow its manufacturing operations in Fort Collins.
