Apple's production move in the USA

In the statement made by Apple, it was stated that within the scope of the "American Manufacturing Program (AMP)", new agreements were signed to establish a partnership with Pennsylvania-based titanium manufacturer Perryman Company and to expand its partnership with Delaware-based Qnity Electronics.

In the statement, it was stated that they would work with Perryman for the titanium case to be used in the company's first foldable iPhone model, iPhone Duo, and that Apple had committed to invest up to 100 million dollars in this company within three years.

In the statement, it was noted that Perryman will use at least 80 percent recycled content in the materials it will produce for the iPhone Duo.

It was stated in the statement that Apple will expand its partnership with Qnity Electronics for the new variable aperture technology used in the camera system of the iPhone 18 Pro, and that this company will produce advanced films, which are one of the basic components of the 48 megapixel Fusion main camera, in the USA.

In the statement, it was emphasized that the variable aperture system will enable the device to automatically adjust the light entering the camera according to the light conditions, helping to obtain more light in low light and sharper detail in bright environments.

In the statement, it was underlined that approximately 100 components used in iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro were produced by US companies operating in more than a dozen states, and in this context, it was stated that partnerships were carried out with companies such as Broadcom, Corning, Coherent, TSMC and Amkor Technology.

In the statement, it was stated that it is aimed to produce all the glass of the iPhone and Apple Watch models sold worldwide by the end of the year at the Corning facility in Kentucky, and that the TSMC factory in Arizona is expected to produce more than 100 million chips for Apple in 2026.

It was stated in the statement that Apple works with suppliers in all states of the USA and supports the employment of more than 450 thousand Americans, and that it continues its work as part of its four-year investment commitment of $ 600 billion, aiming to bring advanced manufacturing and critical component production to the USA.
