Apple said on Monday that it would spend $ 500 billion in US investments in the next four years, which will include a huge Texas factory to artificial intelligence servers and add about 20,000 research and development jobs across the country during that time.

The fact that $ 500 billion in expected expenses includes everything from purchases from US suppliers to us filming of TV shows and movies to its Apple TV+ service. The company refused to say how much of the number it was already planning to use with its US supply base, which includes companies like Corning that make glasses for iPhones in Kentucky.

The move comes after media reports that Apple CEO Tim Cook met President Donald Trump last week. Many of Apple’s products collected in China could face 10% tariffs imposed by Trump earlier this month, although the iPhone manufacturer had secured some exceptions from China -duct offices during the first Trump administration.

“This promise represents a political gesture against the Trump administration,” said Gil Luria, analyst at Da Davidson, who assessed Apple already committed to spending more than $ 150 billion a year in the United States, including costs for goods sold and capital costs.

“Even without growing that is using a lot, they would only need 3 to 4 years to meet their commitment.”

Apple gave a similar announcement of its US spending in 2018, during the first Trump administration when it said its new and ongoing investments would contribute $ 350 billion to the US economy over five years.

The company’s shares rose 1.2%.

Trump, in a truth social post, thanked Apple and Cook and said the move reflected the company’s belief in his administration.

Most of Apple’s consumer products are gathered outside the US, although many of Apple components are still made there, including chips from Broadcom, SkyWorks Solutions and Qorvo.

Apple said that last month it began mass -producing chips of its own design at an Arizona factory owned by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.

Bringing TSMC to Arizona and helping to introduce legislation that later became the chips action to strengthen the US semiconductor production was two of Trump’s largest industrial policy features over his first period.

Apple said on Monday that it will work with Foxconn, formally known as HON HAI Precision Industry, to build a 250,000 -square -foot facility in Houston, where it will collect servers that go into data centers to operate Apple Intelligence, its package with AI features It helps to prepare e emails and perform other tasks. These servers are currently made outside the United States, Apple said.

Apple said it is planning to increase its advanced production fund from $ 5 billion to $ 10 billion, with part of the expansion being a “Obligation from several amounts of Dollars from Apple to produce advanced silicon” on TSMC’s Arizona Factory.

Apple did not reveal details of its agreement with TSMC, but it has previously used the fund to help partners build the infrastructure needed to provide products or services to Apple.

Apple also opens a production academy in Michigan, where its engineers together with local university staff will offer free courses for small and medium -sized production companies in areas such as project management and manufacturing process optimization.
