Apple commits $30 billion to Broadcom for 15 billion US-made chips

Apple has announced a multi-year partnership expansion with chipmaker Broadcom worth more than $30 billion, a deal that will see the production of over 15 billion chips made in the United States, CNBC reported.

A major share of the agreement includes a $1.5 billion physical expansion of Broadcom’s manufacturing facility in Fort Collins, Colorado. Apple has not yet shared an exact timeline for when the new factory lines will come online. Broadcom has long supplied the wireless components that allow iPhones and iPads to connect to cellular networks, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the new deal strengthens that relationship around custom American-made silicon.

Citing a security filing from Broadcom, the report said the company will develop and supply specialised “custom ASIC silicon products” for multiple generations of Apple hardware through 2031. These custom-built circuits are valued in the tech industry for being optimised to handle heavy artificial intelligence workloads.

The $30 billion commitment forms part of Apple’s $600 billion, four-year US investment strategy first announced in 2025, and marks the single largest financial pledge made under Apple’s American Manufacturing Program.
