Apple boosts US supply chain for iPhone Duo and 18 Pro

Apple has announced new and expanded partnerships through its American Manufacturing Program for components and materials used in the iPhone Duo and the iPhone 18 Pro, saying nearly 100 components in those phones are produced by American companies located across more than a dozen states.

The updates include new commitments to suppliers of critical parts and materials. Perryman Company will supply the grade 5 titanium enclosure for the iPhone Duo, and Apple is committing up to $100 million over the next three years to support Perryman as it melts, forges, and rolls titanium with a minimum of 80% recycled content for the device. Apple is also expanding its work with Qnity Electronics, headquartered in Delaware; Qnity, which joined AMP in March, will produce advanced films essential to the iPhone 18 Pro's main camera variable aperture system.

Apple is committing up to $100 million to Perryman over three years to secure the iPhone Duo's grade 5 titanium enclosure.

Existing partners are also scaling up. Broadcom is expanding and modernizing its Fort Collins, Colorado facility under a $1.5 billion capital investment announced in July, part of a multiyear agreement expected to produce more than 15 billion US-made chips. Corning, an Apple partner since the original iPhone in 2007, produces specialty glass including Ceramic Shield in Harrodsburg, Kentucky; Apple says that by the end of this year all cover glass for iPhones (the Duo included) and Apple Watches sold worldwide will come from that facility.

Other suppliers named in the announcement include Coherent, which supplies vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser technology from Sherman, Texas for Face ID and other features across iPhones and iPads, including the redesigned Dynamic Island on the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. TSMC's Arizona fabrication plant will produce more than 100 million chips for Apple this year, and construction on its north campus is ongoing. Amkor, which broke ground on a packaging and test facility in Peoria, Arizona in September 2025, began shell construction earlier this year, and Apple will be one of its first customers.

Program scope and policy

Apple says it works with suppliers in all 50 US states and supports more than 450,000 American jobs. AMP, first announced in August of last year, is part of the company’s $600 billion, four-year commitment to US manufacturing. As part of Apple’s environmental targets, all of its direct suppliers will be required to power their Apple manufacturing with renewable energy by the end of the decade, supporting Apple’s stated goal of being carbon neutral across its entire footprint by 2030.
