Houston (Harris County) — Apple has announced its largest-ever spending commitment, with plans to spend and invest more than $500 billion in the U.S. over the next four years.

“We are bullish on the future of American innovation, and we’re proud to build on our long-standing U.S. investments with this $500 billion commitment to our country’s future,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “From doubling our Advanced Manufacturing Fund to building advanced technology in Texas, we’re thrilled to expand our support for American manufacturing. And we’ll keep working with people and companies across this country to help write an extraordinary new chapter in the history of American innovation.”

As part of its new U.S. investments, Apple will work with manufacturing partners to begin producing servers in Houston later this year. A 250,000-square-foot server manufacturing facility slated to open in 2026 will create thousands of jobs.

Previously manufactured outside the U.S., the servers that will soon be assembled in Houston play a key role in powering Apple Intelligence, and are the foundation of Private Cloud Compute, which combines powerful AI processing with the most advanced security architecture ever deployed at scale for AI cloud computing. The servers bring together years of R&D by Apple engineers and deliver the industry-leading security and performance of Apple silicon to the data center.

Apple teams designed the servers to be incredibly energy efficient, reducing the energy demands of Apple data centers, which already run on 100 percent renewable energy. As Apple brings Apple Intelligence to customers across the U.S., it plans to expand its data center capacity in North Carolina, Iowa, Oregon, Arizona and Nevada.
