Apple has announced a major expansion of its partnership with Broadcom, signing a new multi-year agreement worth more than $30 billion that will run through 2031.
The deal represents Apple’s biggest manufacturing commitment in the United States and is designed to strengthen domestic semiconductor production while supporting the company’s long-term hardware strategy.
The agreement is expected to support the production of more than 15 billion chips in the US over the coming years. As part of the partnership, Broadcom will invest $1.5 billion to expand its manufacturing facility in Fort Collins, Colorado. Neither company has confirmed when the additional production capacity will become available.
Broadcom has supplied wireless connectivity components for Apple for years, and the new agreement deepens that relationship. Under the deal, Broadcom will manufacture custom silicon in the United States, including chips that power Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular connectivity across multiple generations of Apple devices.
Earlier this week, Broadcom revealed in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that it had signed long-term agreements with Apple to develop and supply custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) chips through 2031. These custom chips are expected to support future Apple products and play a growing role as ASIC technology becomes increasingly important for artificial intelligence workloads.
Apple CEO Tim Cook called the agreement the largest commitment made under the company’s American Manufacturing Program, describing it as a major step toward expanding advanced manufacturing in the United States. The announcement is also the biggest part of Apple’s $600 billion, four-year US investment plan introduced in 2025, which focuses on strengthening the country’s complete silicon supply chain.
In its statement, Apple said it continues to work with US businesses and the federal government to build a stronger domestic semiconductor ecosystem. Cook also credited President Donald Trump and his administration for supporting American manufacturing efforts, adding that the components produced at Broadcom’s Colorado facility will be essential for delivering the performance and connectivity customers expect from future Apple devices.
