Apple-Broadcom chip deal to exceed $30 billion under U.S. investment plan
The agreement runs through 2031, centering on Broadcom’s U.S.-made FBAR filters and other wireless components as Apple expands its domestic manufacturing push.
Apple’s multi-year supply agreement with Broadcom is valued at more than $30 billion and runs through 2031, making it the largest single commitment under Apple’s American Manufacturing Program. The deal is aimed at producing more than 15 billion chips in the United States by 2031 and includes a $1.5 billion investment to expand and modernize Broadcom’s Fort Collins, Colorado, facility, where advanced radio frequency components such as FBAR filters are made for iPhone connectivity and wireless performance. The agreement supports hundreds of U.S. jobs and sits within Apple’s broader pledge, launched in 2025, to invest $600 billion in U.S. manufacturing over four years. The scale of the arrangement underscores Broadcom’s importance as Apple’s preferred domestic partner for radio frequency components, an area where Apple appears to be relying on supplier expertise even as it has brought other chip design work in-house.
