Apple announced new and expanded American Manufacturing Program partnerships on Monday, naming the U.S. suppliers producing key materials and components for iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro, and confirming that its Houston facility will begin manufacturing the Mac mini this year.
Perryman Company, a family-owned titanium producer based in Houston, Pennsylvania, will supply titanium for Apple products including iPhone Duo, with Apple committing up to $100 million over the next three years. Perryman melts, forges, and rolls grade 5 titanium with a minimum of 80 percent recycled content for the foldable iPhone's enclosure. Apple is also expanding its partnership with Delaware-based Qnity Electronics, which joined the program in March, to produce advanced films for the new variable aperture system in the iPhone 18 Pro's 48MP Fusion Main camera.
Apple said nearly 100 components across iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro - from wireless chips to core silicon - are now produced by American companies drawn from suppliers in more than a dozen states. The announcement updates several existing commitments: Broadcom's $1.5 billion Fort Collins, Colorado expansion will produce more than 15 billion U.S.-made radio frequency chips; Corning's Harrodsburg, Kentucky plant will make all cover glass for iPhone and Apple Watch sold worldwide by the end of 2026; Coherent is supplying vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers for Face ID from Sherman, Texas; TSMC's Arizona fab will produce more than 100 million chips for Apple in 2026; and Amkor's Peoria, Arizona packaging and test facility expects more than 3,500 local hires across its first two phases.
The Houston, Texas site that houses Apple's Advanced Manufacturing Center - which builds the company's AI servers - will also begin manufacturing the Mac mini this year, Apple confirmed. The program sits inside Apple's $600 billion, four-year U.S. manufacturing commitment, and the company says it works with suppliers in all 50 states and supports more than 450,000 American jobs.
"We're thrilled to expand our work with companies producing advanced materials and components for our newest iPhone lineup right here in America," said Sabih Khan, Apple's chief operating officer, in the press release. Apple added that all direct suppliers are required to power their Apple manufacturing with renewable energy by the end of the decade as part of its 2030 carbon-neutral goal.
