SAN FRANCISCO, ⁠July 8 (Reuters) - Apple plans to spend more than $30 ⁠billion under a multi-year chip supply deal with Broadcom, ‌bolstering its U.S. sourcing as President Donald Trump's administration pushes to expand domestic chip manufacturing.

Broadcom shares rose more than 4%, while Apple shares ​were down marginally.

Apple said on Wednesday ⁠the deal, which was struck ⁠earlier this week and runs through 2031, covers FBAR filters - ⁠or ‌radio-frequency chips used for wireless connectivity in its devices - that it had been developing with Broadcom ⁠since at least 2023.

Broadcom will invest $1.5 billion to ​expand its ‌Fort Collins, Colorado, factory under the deal, which Apple ⁠said would ​result in the production of at least 15 billion chips and support its work with the Trump administration to source more ⁠components domestically.

"The cutting-edge components built in ​Fort Collins are essential to delivering the incredible performance and connectivity our customers expect, and we're proud to deepen our ⁠investments in U.S.-based suppliers that share our commitment to excellence and innovation," Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement.

"We're grateful to the president and his administration for supporting ​important projects like this."

In August 2025, Apple ⁠raised its U.S. investment commitment to $600 billion over four years, ​adding $100 billion to a previously announced ‌spending plan.
