Apple is once again betting on the USA. The tech giant has just promised to allocate a colossal 100 billion dollars to expand its production on American soil. This is in addition to the previously committed 500 billion dollars. The timing is not coincidental — Trump's tariff hammer is about to fall on the semiconductor industry. The president warned that companies importing chips may soon face 100% tariffs if they do not commit to producing them in the USA. Apple's CEO Tim Cook clearly understood his message. And he is once again positioning Apple to stay ahead of the political situation.

Apple's semiconductor strategy: to produce or to pay
Trump's latest move is a direct hit on global chip manufacturers. At a press conference in the Oval Office, he made it clear: produce semiconductors in the USA, or face high tariffs. And we are talking about not some small tariff — Trump threatens to impose a 100% tariff. This will double the cost of imported chips, affecting everything from iPhones to laptops. But there is an exception. Companies like Apple, which have clearly committed to producing chips in the USA, will avoid the penalty. Cook was not just present — he was welcomed. And rightly so. Apple's bold shift to domestic chip production could save the company billions while protecting consumers from price increases.
Apple launches large-scale manufacturing program
The promise to allocate 100 billion dollars is not just a PR move. Apple plans to launch the 'American Manufacturing' program to move much of its chip supply chain to the USA. And it is not doing this alone. Leading American suppliers such as Corning, Broadcom, Texas Instruments, and GlobalWafers America have already joined it. Apple aims to produce over 19 billion chips by 2025 at 24 factories in 12 states. Tim Cook says it's not just about chips, but about the entire supply chain of silicon components. From design to packaging, Apple wants all of this to be produced in the USA. Trump praised this move, calling it an important step towards 'bringing back' tech manufacturing to America.

Apple's path to avoiding tariffs may not be open forever
Trump has openly expressed his views on Apple's global presence, and he has not always been pleased. He has publicly criticized the company for assembling iPhones in India and hinted at imposing additional tariffs specifically against Apple and Samsung. Although smartphones have not yet been affected, Trump has already raised import tariffs for India, where many iPhones are produced. Nevertheless, Apple seems to be in a favorable position. The administration confirmed that Apple will likely avoid most of the new Indian tariffs. But the signal is clear: time is running out. If companies do not take swift action, they may face retaliatory tariffs — punishment for untimely actions.

It's not just about the iPhone. Apple's investments in the USA could also boost its efforts in artificial intelligence. The company is under intense pressure to compete with the likes of Google and OpenAI. While Apple still assembles iPhones abroad, it is now producing critical components, such as semiconductors, facial recognition lasers, and glass, in the USA. Trump's tariffs are changing not only Apple's business but the entire tech sector. Other chip manufacturing giants such as TSMC, Nvidia, and Texas Instruments are also moving production to the USA. Cook may not yet produce iPhones entirely in America, but he is laying the groundwork for the next generation of Apple's innovations, possibly avoiding billions of dollars in tariffs.
