Apple Doubles Down on U.S. Manufacturing: Pennsylvania Titanium Plant Gets Up to $100M Over Three Years
Apple announced new and expanded partnerships under its American Manufacturing Program, including up to $100M with Pennsylvania's Perryman for iPhone Duo titanium; nearly 100 components in the latest iPhones are made by U.S. companies.
Why it matters
The announcement is part of Apple's $600 billion, four-year U.S. commitment. For the first time, the grade 5 titanium enclosure of iPhone Duo — Apple's first foldable iPhone — will be melted, forged and rolled in the United States.
Full report
Apple announced on October 20 new and expanded partnerships with American companies supplying critical materials and components for iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro through its American Manufacturing Program.
Pennsylvania-based titanium producer Perryman Company will receive up to $100 million over three years to supply titanium for products such as iPhone Duo. At its Houston, Pennsylvania site, Perryman melts, forges and rolls titanium with a minimum of 80 percent recycled content.
Delaware-headquartered Qnity Electronics will expand its partnership to produce advanced films for the new variable aperture camera system on iPhone 18 Pro — the heart of the 48MP Fusion Main camera.
Apple also laid out its supply footprint: nearly 100 components in the new iPhones are produced by American companies across more than a dozen states, including Broadcom's $1.5B Fort Collins, Colorado expansion (over 15 billion U.S.-made chips), Corning's Harrodsburg, Kentucky plant (by end of 2026, all cover glass for iPhone and Apple Watch sold worldwide will come from this facility), Coherent's Sherman, Texas VCSEL technology for Face ID, TSMC's Arizona fab (over 100 million chips for Apple in 2026), and Amkor's Peoria, Arizona packaging and test facility. Chief Operating Officer Sabih Khan said American ingenuity is vital to all Apple products.
