Apple has announced a multi-year $30 billion chip supply agreement with Broadcom, strengthening its commitment to U.S.-based manufacturing while supporting the country’s growing semiconductor industry. The deal, which runs through 2031, marks one of Apple’s biggest domestic sourcing investments as the company continues to diversify its supply chain.
Under the agreement, Apple will source FBAR (Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator) filters from Broadcom. These advanced radio-frequency chips are essential for wireless connectivity in devices such as the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and other Apple products. The two companies have reportedly been co-developing the technology since at least 2023.
As part of the partnership, Broadcom will invest $1.5 billion to expand its semiconductor manufacturing facility in Fort Collins, Colorado. Apple said the expansion will enable the production of at least 15 billion chips, helping strengthen domestic semiconductor manufacturing while creating new employment opportunities in the United States.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company is proud to deepen its investment in U.S.-based suppliers that share its commitment to innovation and product excellence. He added that the advanced components manufactured in Colorado will play a vital role in delivering the high-performance wireless connectivity expected by Apple customers.
The announcement also aligns with the U.S. government’s efforts to boost domestic chip production and reduce dependence on overseas manufacturing. Apple acknowledged the support of the Trump administration in advancing large-scale manufacturing projects aimed at strengthening the country’s semiconductor ecosystem.
The latest agreement builds on Apple’s broader U.S. investment strategy. In August 2025, the company increased its domestic investment commitment to $600 billion over four years, adding another $100 billion to its previously announced spending plans.
Following the announcement, Broadcom’s shares rose more than 4%, reflecting investor optimism over the long-term partnership, while Apple shares remained largely unchanged during trading.
Industry analysts believe the deal further reinforces Apple’s strategy of securing critical chip supplies while supporting the expansion of advanced semiconductor manufacturing within the United States, an increasingly important priority as global demand for AI-enabled and connected devices continues to grow.
