Today Apple announced a new multiyear, multibillion-dollar agreement with Broadcom, a leading U.S. technology and advanced manufacturing company. Through this collaboration, Broadcom will develop 5G radio frequency components — including FBAR filters — and cutting-edge wireless connectivity components. The FBAR filters will be designed and built in several key American manufacturing and technology hubs, including Fort Collins, Colorado, where Broadcom has a major facility.
“We’re thrilled to make commitments that harness the ingenuity, creativity, and innovative spirit of American manufacturing,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, in a statement. “All of Apple’s products depend on technology engineered and built here in the United States, and we’ll continue to deepen our investments in the U.S. economy because we have an unshakable belief in America’s future.”
Apple already helps support more than 1,100 jobs in Broadcom’s Fort Collins FBAR filter manufacturing facility, and the partnership will enable Broadcom to continue to invest in critical automation projects and upskilling with technicians and engineers. Across the country, Apple supports more than 2.7 million jobs through direct employment, developer jobs in the thriving iOS app economy, and spending with more than 9,000 U.S. suppliers and manufacturers of all sizes in all 50 states across dozens of sectors.
5G technology is shaping the future of next-generation consumer electronics — and Apple is spending tens of billions of dollars to develop this field in America.
Following the introduction of 5G technology to Apple devices in 2020, Apple has helped expand and expedite 5G adoption across the country, driving innovation and job growth among companies that support 5G innovation and infrastructure. 5G coverage and performance also continue to expand around the world, and more users are benefitting from faster connectivity as they upgrade to 5G-capable products.
MacDailyNews Note: These investments are part of the commitment Apple made in 2021 to invest $430 billion in the U.S. economy over five years. In January 2020, Apple and Broadcom signed chip-supply deals worth $15 billion.

MAGA!
Thank Biden for signing the CHIPS Act instead of going golfing. Your hero had 4 years to propose meaningful legislation to redomesticate industry and all he could do was tweets and photo ops. You’re welcome.
The CHIPS Act is a law developed by the Trump administration. Thanks to President Trump, the last duly-elected American president, the CHIPS Act will be a huge deal for America, both for the American economy and national security.

Lazy reporting. The bill was bipartisan from day one, as reported everywhere else. It obviously wasn’t a priority for orange dotard, he didn’t get the job done. It took the Biden administration to enact it.
Are you this desperate to look for accomplishments for your boss? Tweets are not accomplishments.
The Trump administration created the Chip act.
No credibility from a Democrat, again. Gee, what a surprise… 🙄
loser, first then still a loser.
Its amazing, wow Multi Billionaire
The Broadcom chip I want to see in Apple mobile devices is the dual band GPS chip. It has been available for at least 3 years and I would guess it is in the Ultra watch and the iPhone Pro models because they have GPS precision only achievable with dual band chips. Why doesn’t Apple say anything about this clearly superior product feature?
