Apple Commits $100 Million for US Titanium in Domestic Manufacturing Expansion
Apple has committed to purchasing up to $100 million worth of titanium over three years from Pennsylvania-based Perryman Company, using at least 80% recycled content, as part of its American Manufacturing Program to expand domestic production. The company is also enhancing partnerships with US suppliers like Delaware-based Qnity Electronics for iPhone camera components. Nearly 100 components for the iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro are sourced from American companies across multiple states, supporting Apple's broader $600 billion, four-year US manufacturing investment.
