Apple has announced a significant expansion of its domestic supply chain initiatives, pledging up to $100 million to source titanium from a U.S.-based manufacturer. The commitment is part of the company's broader American Manufacturing Program (AMP) aimed at bolstering advanced component production within the United States.
Expanding U.S. Partnerships for the Latest iPhone Lineup
Announced from Cupertino, California, the initiative pairs Apple with Pennsylvania-based titanium producer Perryman Company to supply titanium for Apple products, including the iPhone Duo. Apple is also expanding its partnership with Qnity Electronics, headquartered in Delaware, to produce technology for the new variable aperture in the iPhone 18 Pro camera system.
Additionally, Apple has highlighted its broader U.S. manufacturing footprint, including its Advanced Manufacturing Center (AMC) in Houston, Texas. The facility trains businesses on advanced manufacturing processes and sits within the same location that builds Apple's advanced AI servers and will begin manufacturing Mac mini.
