Apple Expands U.S. Chip Deal With Broadcom

Apple Expands U.S. Chip Deal With Broadcom

Apple will purchase more than $30 billion in chips from Broadcom under a multi-year supply agreement that runs through 2031, expanding the company’s sourcing of U.S.-made components.

The agreement comes as the Trump administration continues to promote domestic semiconductor production and as major technology companies face pressure to strengthen American supply chains.

Apple said the deal, finalized earlier this week, covers FBAR filters, a type of radio-frequency chip used to support wireless connectivity in its devices. The company has been working with Broadcom on the components since at least 2023.

Broadcom shares rose more than 4% after the announcement, while Apple shares were little changed.

As part of the agreement, Broadcom will invest $1.5 billion to expand its manufacturing facility in Fort Collins, Colorado. Apple said the deal is expected to support production of at least 15 billion chips and further its broader effort to source more components from within the United States.

“The cutting-edge components built in Fort Collins are essential to delivering the incredible performance and connectivity our customers expect, and we’re proud to deepen our investments in U.S.-based suppliers that share our commitment to excellence and innovation,” Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook said in a statement.

“We’re grateful to the president and his administration for supporting important projects like this.”

The deal adds to Apple’s broader U.S. investment push. In August 2025, the company raised its planned domestic investment to $600 billion over four years, adding $100 billion to its previous commitment.

For Apple, the Broadcom agreement strengthens a key part of its wireless component supply chain. For Broadcom, it brings a major long-term customer commitment tied directly to U.S. chip manufacturing and expansion in Colorado.
