Apple announced it will expand its partnership with Broadcom through a more than US$30 billion commitment focused on strengthening its U.S. supply chain. As part of the initiative, Apple will also invest US$1.5 billion in Broadcom's manufacturing facility in Fort Collins, Colorado.
The investment forms part of Apple's previously announced US$600 billion U.S. investment plan, a commitment highlighted by CEO Tim Cook during a White House announcement. The move is expected to align with the Trump administration's push to expand domestic semiconductor manufacturing.
Broadcom will continue supplying Apple with key wireless technologies, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and RF (radio frequency) filter components manufactured in the United States.
These components will support Apple's expanding lineup of products, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, HomePod mini, Apple TV, and future smart home devices. Broadcom's RF filters will also work alongside Apple's in-house C1, C2, and future C3 cellular modem chips, which Apple is gradually deploying across its product portfolio as it reduces reliance on third-party modem suppliers.
Will Apple expand its commercial partnership with Broadcom again before the end of 2026?
Broadcom rose 4.8% to $388.69 in New York trading on Wednesday, notching the biggest single-day gain since May 14. Apple increased less than 1% to $313.39.
