Apple says American companies are supplying "critical materials and components" for both the iPhone 18 Pro and the iPhone Duo. In all, nearly 100 components across the two phones are produced by American companies in more than a dozen states.
The company has named two new or expanded partners through its American Manufacturing Program (AMP). Pennsylvania-based Perryman Company, a titanium producer, will supply titanium for Apple products, including the iPhone Duo. Apple says it is committing up to $100 million over the next three years to help Perryman make the grade 5 titanium used in the iPhone Duo enclosure. Delaware-headquartered Qnity Electronics will produce advanced films essential to the new variable aperture camera system on the iPhone 18 Pro, which the company calls the most advanced Apple has ever made.
Apple's chief operating officer, Sabih Khan, said the company was "thrilled to expand our work with companies producing advanced materials and components for our newest iPhone lineup right here in America."
Apple also highlighted five additional US suppliers. Broadcom is expanding its Fort Collins, Colorado, facility under a $1.5 billion investment announced in July, producing radio frequency components. Corning produces Ceramic Shield cover glass in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, and by the end of 2026 will make all iPhone and Apple Watch cover glass sold worldwide. Coherent supplies vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser technology from Sherman, Texas, which enables Face ID and the Dynamic Island. TSMC's Arizona fab has produced more than 100 million chips for Apple in 2026, and Amkor Technology has broken ground on a packaging and test facility.
