Apple today announced an acceleration of investments in America, with plans to make new contributions of more than $430 billion and add 20,000 new jobs across the country over the next five years. Over the past three years, Apple’s American investments have significantly outpaced the company’s original five-year goal of $350 billion set in 2018. Apple is now raising its level of commitment by 20 percent over the next five years, supporting American innovation and driving economic benefits in every state. This includes tens of billions of dollars for next-generation silicon development and 5G innovation across nine U.S. states.
“At this moment of recovery and rebuilding, Apple is doubling down on our commitment to US innovation and manufacturing with a generational investment reaching communities across all 50 states,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “We’re creating jobs in cutting-edge fields — from 5G to silicon engineering to artificial intelligence — investing in the next generation of innovative new businesses, and in all our work, building toward a greener and more equitable future.”
Today, Apple supports more than 2.7 million jobs across the country through direct employment, spending with US suppliers and manufacturers, and developer jobs in the thriving iOS app economy. Apple is the largest taxpayer in the US and has paid almost $45 billion in domestic corporate income taxes over the past five years alone.
Apple’s $430 billion in contributions to the US economy include direct spend with American suppliers, data center investments, capital expenditures in the US, and other domestic spend — including dozens of Apple TV+ productions across 20 states, creating thousands of jobs and supporting the creative industry.
Establishing a New North Carolina Campus
As part of its investments and expansion, Apple plans to invest over $1 billion in North Carolina and will begin construction on a new campus and engineering hub in the Research Triangle area. The investment will create at least 3,000 new jobs in machine learning, artificial intelligence, software engineering, and other cutting-edge fields.
Apple will also establish a $100 million fund to support schools and community initiatives in the greater Raleigh-Durham area and across the state, and will be contributing over $110 million in infrastructure spending to the 80 North Carolina counties with the greatest need — funds that will go toward broadband, roads and bridges, and public schools. When up and running, Apple’s investments are expected to generate over $1.5 billion in economic benefits annually for North Carolina.
Expanding Apple’s US Operations
Apple is on track to meet its 2018 goal of creating 20,000 new jobs in the US by 2023. With today’s new commitment, Apple is setting a target of creating 20,000 additional jobs in states across the country over the next five years.
• California: Apple continues to expand its teams across the state and now expects to grow its San Diego team to more than 5,000 employees by 2026 — a 500 percent increase from its 2018 goal. The company will also grow its teams in Culver City to more than 3,000 employees by 2026, expanding its state-of-the-art campus with additional space for these employees and more.
• Colorado: Apple is growing its engineering team in Boulder, and expects to have close to 700 employees at its offices in the region by 2026.
Massachusetts: In 2018, Apple announced it would add hundreds of new jobs in the Boston metro area. With around 200 team members already working in the region, Apple plans to add several hundred new jobs by 2026.
• Texas: Construction for Apple’s $1 billion Austin campus is underway, with employees expected to start moving into the new space next year.
• Washington: Apple’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design) Platinum office space in Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood recently opened for the company’s 1,000 local employees, with plans to add at least another 1,000 team members.
• Iowa: The design process is underway for Apple’s new data center, which is expected to create over 500 construction and operations jobs in Waukee. Apple is supporting community infrastructure programs, including the creation of Triumph Park, a 66-acre recreation area.
Apple has also surpassed its 2018 hiring commitments in Miami, New York, Pittsburgh, and Portland, Oregon.
As Apple grows its teams and operations in the US, the company is committed to doing so in an environmentally responsible manner with a focus on renewable energy and green innovation. To date, nearly 60 of Apple’s US sites are LEED certified. Apple is carbon neutral for all of its operations in the US and around the world, and last year committed to be 100 percent carbon neutral for its entire supply chain and products by 2030.
Creating American Jobs with Manufacturers and Suppliers Nationwide
Apple’s $430 billion US investments include working with more than 9,000 suppliers and companies large and small in all 50 states, supporting American job creation across dozens of sectors, including silicon engineering, 5G, and manufacturing.
To foster innovation and growth in the sector, Apple launched its $5 billion Advanced Manufacturing Fund in 2017. Awards from the fund have led to breakthrough innovations in laser technology, sustainable material development, 5G infrastructure, and other cutting-edge fields.
• Indiana: A new $100 million Advanced Manufacturing Fund investment to open a state-of-the-art facility and distribution center in Clayton, which will be operated by XPO Logistics, will accelerate delivery timelines and personalization. The award is expected to create around 500 jobs at the facility.
• Kentucky: Corning was the first recipient of an award from Apple’s Advanced Manufacturing Fund, and has received $450 million to support research and development into state-of-the-art glass processes, equipment, and materials. These awards led to the creation of Ceramic Shield, a new material that is tougher than any smartphone glass. Apple’s investment has helped support more than 1,000 jobs across Corning’s US operations in Kentucky and other facilities.
• Texas: Apple began working with II-VI in Sherman, Texas, in 2017 as part of the company’s Advanced Manufacturing Fund. The laser technology that II-VI manufactures in Texas, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Illinois are integral components that help power Face ID, along with Memoji, Animoji, and more.
• California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Texas, Vermont, and Washington: Apple is spending tens of billions of dollars across these nine states in silicon engineering and 5G technology — two pivotal fields shaping the future of next-generation consumer electronics. With the launch of the 5G-enabled iPhone 12 lineup and the new iPad Pro, Apple has helped expand and expedite 5G adoption across the country, driving innovation and significant job growth among companies that support 5G innovation and infrastructure. The company also recently expanded its New Silicon Initiative — designed to prepare students for careers in hardware engineering and silicon chip design — to engineering programs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities across the country.
Apple is also making industry-leading investments in new clean energy projects and green technology in the US and around the world. Just last month, Apple announced a massive new US energy storage project in California’s Monterey County — joining other energy storage projects the company has invested in, including its microgrid at Apple Park.
Apple continues to be a clean energy leader through its $4.7 billion Green Bond spend, with recent investments in solar and wind projects in Nevada, Illinois, and Virginia — bringing clean energy and high-paying jobs to local communities across the country.
Apple also continues to support jobs in the innovative iOS app economy, which facilitated $138 billion of commerce in 2019 in the US alone. More than 85 percent of those proceeds go straight to third-party developers. Today, the App Store supports more than 2.1 million US jobs across all 50 states.

MacDailyNews Take:
MAGA.
America is already great, thanks to visionaries like Tim Cook.
Cook only began his investment in America thanks to pressure placed on him and the tax repatriation plan given to him by President Trump.
If Tim Cook is a “visionary” we’re all doomed. The dude it the opposite of a visionary. He’s Mr. Myopic.
Tim Cook is nothing more than a placeholder and an appeaser. The sooner the sanctimonious hypocrite retires, the better.
Boring as cardboard, Cook is simply trying to use Apple’s money to try to buy his way out of antitrust issues, real or imagined, and, the funny thing is, he voted for the Democrat idiots pushing antitrust action on him.
Yeah, America is “already great” with a dementia patient elected by Mark Zuckerberg controlled by a handful socialists bent on bankrupting future generations with rampant policy mistakes and massive multi-trillion spending on boondoggles, claptrap, and junk science.
Stop the Madness. MAGA 2022.
59% approval while you all are still looking to find or manufacture votes.
Check his approval ratings of not handling the border crisis…
59% approval from f’ing idiot libturds
Overall rtard.
59% is a majority. You are aware how elections work?
AppleCynic and TXUser are leftist douchbags allergic to facts. Keep voting your own posts up. 🙄 effing losers.
Facts? From a Trumpist? He lies twice just by saying good morning!
The real silent majority speaks.
You truly are a butthurt piece of shit, firstthen or whatever your name is today. You keep losing elections and the more irritating you become, the less people like you. Go figure.
Zuckerberg stole the election and installed Joe Biden, a dementia patient, into the White House to do his and his leftist socialist comrades’ bidding.
Zuckerberg, in fact, violated the 14th amendment because “all eligible voters must be given equal access to their right to vote.”
Welcome to the American Oligarchy.
When state legislatures try to correct the issue and prevent theft of future elections in the same manner, the corrupt media, Democrats, and Hollywood socialists band together to lie about the laws, calling them, of course, what else, “RACIST!!!” (That false claim is all they have and it isn’t much as they’ve destroyed the word’s meaning by misusing it constantly.)

Thanks to President Donald Trump that you have not ONCE, gave him credit for anything. Yet, you continue to LIE and claim you are a bona fide Republican.
LIAR, LIAR, PANTS on fire…
Txuser,
You are seriously deranged and a severely damaged individual. America is not even close the country it used to be. No longer first in education, no longer first in manufacturing…. the list goes on and on. But I guess can’t see that with your head up your ass
MAGA
Yeah end we ain’t talkin Mercian good eeder!
TxLooser has ZERO credibility to talk about America in any capacity. Present day puppet of the Leftists, Biden and the LIAR who claims to be a Republican do not care about America unless it fits their, not progressive, regressive agenda…
Yeah, America is great with a racist, corrupt dementia patient as Pres, a whore as VP and an obese mentally ill person in charge of health, and violent libturds burning down cities. TXloser, you are a f’ing idiot.
No, the obese, racist, corrupt mental patient married to a girly-mag model left the White House shortly after his violent supporters invaded the US Capitol.
Sorry if I’m a little huffy, but I just got back from my local supermarket. Inside, most of the customers were moms with small kids. Outside, some MAGAT had parked a huge SUV directly in front of the exit. It had a 3×5 flag flying ten feet off the ground saying “Fuck Biden… and Fuck You for voting for him.”
That’s a fine example of Trump “family values.”
Jealous of the handsome President Trump and his gorgeous model wife the best looking first lady of ALL TIME. Obviously, the LYING FAKE CONSERVATIVE can’t handle Trump’s success and continues to mock him as Trump lives RENT FREE in TxUseless brainless noodle.
So you don’t like the Biden sign, while lying about being a Republican you don’t support it, hello?
That sign has absolutely NOTHING to do with “Trump family values.” You are the master of conflation and deflection and have ZERO CREDIBILITY…
No, I don’t like the Biden sign. It has nothing to do with being a Republican.
No Republican I have ever met outside this website would have let somebody so blatantly drop the F-bomb on their wives and children. I just got upset. Another guy at the store — a very conservative-looking gentlemen with short gray hair and a military bearing — ripped the flag down and bent the pole around a tree. Only a Trump supporter could possibly think that the sign would convince anybody that their candidate supported decency or honor within a civilized society.
You are obviously cut out of the same cloth as that sign. You were demanding my address. Well, why don’t you give us yours so we can go shout obscenities in your girlfriend’s face, since you obviously think that is acceptable behavior. You have done much the same here. Never a lick of evidence, only one insult after another. Calling the President of the United States “a racist, corrupt dementia patient,” the Vice President “a whore,” and the Secretary of Health and Human Services “an obese mentally ill person.” No wonder it has finally driven some of us to respond in kind.
Perhaps your conduct is sanctioned by the First Commandments of your religion: “I am Trump your god. You shall have no other God but me. You shall cast gilded images of me and bow down to them and worship.” Every other major world religion follows some variation of “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This is the meaning of the Law and the Prophets” (Matthew 7:12) and “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:31). Evidently, all that Trumpism has to offer its neighbors is a big “F. U.”
The Gospel According to Donald:
Not white? F. U.
Foreign born (unless they marry a Trump)? F. U.
Parents Foreign Born (Trumps excepted)? F. U.
Not a native English speaker (same exception)? F. U.

Recite the catechism and kiss the Golden Ass.
Txloser, the level of your gullibility, delusion and stupidity is astounding.
A sign bothers, but you haven’t made one complaint or comment on libturds burning down cities and attacking innocents.
YOU, and your ilk are the problem. YOU are the reason American despise libturds.
Tell us TXloser, considering that “Calling the President of the United States “a racist, corrupt dementia patient,” the Vice President “a whore,” and the Secretary of Health and Human Services “an obese mentally ill person.” is in fact all true, how is that insulting?
There is proof that dementia Joe has dementia, is racist and is corrupt and that Harris fucked her way into politics. One look at Rachel Levine is all it takes to see severe mental illness and morbid obesity. How gullible and stupid do you have to be not to see that?
How are facts insulting?
Not a thinker FU
Not a legal resident FU
Not paying your taxes FU
I could go on with examples for infinity, but I’ll spare you.
That opening sentence sure defined the current derangement in progressive America.
Txloser,
Fuck Biden… and Fuck You for, Txloser, for voting for him.”
Family value that in your ass
Txuser, you have serious delusion issues. Get help. Quickly.
Cook a visionary??? LOL!!! He can’t carry Steve’s jock strap. A bean counter CEO with ZERO VISION, ZERO TALENT, turned Apple into a me-too copycat company following true visionaries everywhere else in tech. Riding first class in the iPhone gravy train he has done NOTHING VISIONARY!!! Cook ignored Job’s advice NOT to drag the company into PARTISAN politics pissing off over 50% of Americans. TxUseless is a partisan LYING SHILL for Cook because their woke politics are the same…
Parts of America are already great.
Smart Americans are getting the hell out of Blue states
This proves that the entire map is turning more blue as all those “evil” blue states export their college graduates to developing (low cost/low educated backassward red) states. It’s a natural progression as the billionaire class buys up Manhattan and LA, etc.
As hard as they may argue and stifle progress, conservitards know that population growth happens, and it’s overwhelmingly blue. All the anti-voter restrictions, the extreme policing, the attempts at isolationism, the xeno hyperbole, gerrymandering, court packing, extremist media broadcasting a victimization mindset, and legislative zealotry is all for naught because demographics are irreversibly shifting.
Take solace in your biblical fairy tales and yer NRA political action committees and inward looking selfish attitudes while ye may. Tomorrow reason and science will rule the day.
The census results released recently seem to be in contrast to your presumptions Goobie.
The 2020 census reported that the US population growth from 2010 to 2020 was 7.4%. That is near a historic low thanks to the last 4 years of blatantly isolationist executive policies. But it is almost certain that more “libs” joined the population, since almost all people who immigrate are open to change and seek new opportunities. Exactly the opposite of what the loudmouths on MDN and their orange hero preaches.
We have a joke in Texas about the guy who moved to Oklahoma and raised the average intelligence in both states. Every time a moderate leaves California, the remaining liberals move it further left. When that moderate arrives in Texas, he also moves that state further left. The exodus from California to Texas is not something that conservatives should be celebrating.
Democrats are a bad, sad joke; a cavalcade of virtue-signaling fools.
Yeah, the “Visionary” that has led Apple to be the largest-buy-back company in history.
If you think that’s visionary, I’ll suggest re-thinking your determination. Frankly, if you run the largest and richest public company in the World (depending on determination method), it’s “easy” and has nothing to do with true innovation.
Stock buy backs have more to do with supplementing very high share-holders and, MORE importantly, serve as share-price insurance on Wall Street. Frankly, I deem high-share holders “entitled” to receive the benefit, but as a share-price security tool, it does little but perpetuate an incestuous feeding of the monolith. In truth, it’s destructive when considering options denied.
Yes indeed, thank you President Trump for your business smart policies that unleashed the economy, eliminated onerous Obama regulations, smart tax cuts that made AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!…
Tax cuts for the privilege of hiring people to make them more money, with the cut being paid for by the new workers taxes.
Corporate Welfare!
Obvious you don’t know until Trump lowered corporate business taxes, they were the highest in the world leading to companies fleeing the USA.
“Corporate Welfare” is a stupid condescending Leftist term that has no basis in REALITY…
Like the 10 B Foxconn deal in Wisconsin. In reality now under $700 MM more like maga.
Uh that included incentives not realized and was for an actual business, unlike Solyndra that was nothing more than a Liberal slush-fund which cost WAY more.
Yes TowerTone, Leftists only want to talk about Republican deals while totally ignoring FAR MORE FAILURES from the clueless Obama administration. So typical…
Let’s just compare a few numbers, shall we?
US DOE loan write off due to Solyndra bankruptcy:
$535,000,000
The prior administration, no stranger to massive graft, appointed Joseph Schmitz, a loyal GOP stooge and brother to Mary Kay Letourneau (yes, that Mary Kay) to be Inspector General of the DoD. From 2002 to 2005, Schmitz steered
.
$42,100,000,000
.
of contracts to his network of defense contractors, much of it to a highly controversial mercenary company formerly known as Blackwater. Schmitz was forced to resign in 2005 following a bipartisan investigation which uncovered massive fraud. Where did Schmitz go? Right around the revolving door to, you guessed it, Blackwater.
Not a single GOP enthusiast on this forum uttered a peep. After all, look what fantastic things were accomplished with the $42 billion in lost taxpayer money! /s
Oh, isn’t that cute.
You used numbers handed too you with no questions asked.
I guess you think the GM deal was all paid back too, huh?
@ Tonedeaf: I’m sorry, I didn’t see the numbers you presented.
Let’s assume his numbers are off. The Bush wars still cost US taxpayers trillions more in useless waste, whereas Obama ended up making a few bad bets while paying off those war debts.
You know why right wing extremists never even attempt to justify the insane economic costs of their team’s fiscal management? Because they can’t— they spend even more than the spendaholic Dems. Of course, the Dems spend a lot on domestic stuff, whereas the GOP loves feeding the black hole foreign military adventures. Not actually fighting for freedom, you know, because of painful bone spurs that would cripple the most avid golfer, but you know, debt spending insanely to look more patriotic.
No surprise his followers would be just as lazy, intellectually and physically.
Ok I’ll tell you more.
Someone brought up Foxconn, I rebutted with another government business subsidy Solyndra.
Now you bring up a war.
Care to compare that to welfare?
I mean WTF is your point???
Why does every article have to have one of these comments?
It’s great seeing Tim Cook investing in his home country. They sure need it. Is that better MDN? Not too many facts in this one, maybe I can get away with it.
The bribes are strong with this one.
My God MAGA’s voters can wine. Sure DEM’s are very boring too, but MAGA people wine like bitches.
Gee guys, get your act together, seriously. Go for run and you will feel better.
TxUser is the same genius who swore for years that CNN was real news, real journalism.
TxUser is FOS.
It is truly amazing that no matter the subject, the stupidity of the libs is on display for all to see. Fascinating
Awesome article…!!!
