Apple to Invest $500 Billion in the United States

Tech giant Apple has announced plans to invest over $500 billion in the United States over the next four years. As part of this investment, the company will establish a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Texas.

According to Apple, this investment will create at least 20,000 jobs, with a focus on research, development, software, and artificial intelligence.

Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook met with U.S. President Donald Trump and emphasized prioritizing investments in the U.S. A few days after this meeting, the company officially announced its investment plan.

The new factory, spanning 250,000 square feet in Houston, Texas, will manufacture servers that were previously produced outside the United States.

Apple also stated that the facility will be operational by 2026, generating thousands of jobs. In addition, the company is expanding its data center capabilities in North Carolina, Iowa, Oregon, Arizona, and Nevada.

Meanwhile, Indonesia has agreed to lift its ban on the iPhone 16. The country had previously prohibited the sale of the iPhone 16 in October, citing Apple’s failure to meet the requirement that at least 35% of smartphone components be locally manufactured.

Indonesia’s investment minister stated that Apple plans to invest $1 billion in a factory that will produce components for Apple smartphones and other products.

However, Apple has no immediate plans to manufacture iPhones in Indonesia.
