Apple is bringing more of the iPhone supply chain home, one component at a time
Apple adds Perryman and Qnity to its U.S. Manufacturing Program. Perryman will supply titanium for the iPhone Duo, with Apple committing up to $100M over three years. Qnity will produce camera components for the iPhone 18 Pro. Apple states nearly 100 components for these models are U.S.-made, with Corning, Broadcom, and TSMC also involved in domestic production.
