Apple has announced plans to invest over $500 billion in the U.S. over the next four years. This investment includes the establishment of a new advanced manufacturing factory in Texas, expected to create 20,000 jobs, primarily in research, development, software, and artificial intelligence (AI). The new facility in Houston will produce servers previously manufactured abroad. Additionally, Apple is expanding its operations across several states and doubling its support for a manufacturing fund. This move aligns with President Trump's push for increased domestic investment.
