Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
Apple has expanded its American Manufacturing Program (AMP) by signing new suppliers including Bosch, Cirrus Logic, TDK, and Qnity Electronics to produce iPhone components in US facilities. However, these parts will still be shipped overseas for final assembly. The program is funded through a $400 million allocation until 2030. The article suggests this move may help Apple avoid tariffs but won't significantly improve its standing with the Trump administration.
