The tech giant said it planned to spend $500 billion over the next five years in the United States, with intentions to hire 20,000 new workers and produce AI servers.
The plans include a server factory in Houston slated to open in 2026 and a manufacturing academy in Detroit. The company also said data centers in Arizona, California, Iowa, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon and Washington would see expansions from the investment plans.
Monday's move is Apple's latest splashy announcement about investing in the United States, making it an acceleration of existing plans.
The company announced in 2021 that it was planning to invest $430 billion domestically over the next five years. In 2018, during Trump's first term, Apple said it would make a $350 billion "contribution" to the American economy over a stretch of five years, including the creation of 20,000 jobs.
