Apple has announced a massive $500 billion investment in the United States over the next four years, signaling a significant boost to American manufacturing and innovation. This commitment includes the establishment of a new AI server manufacturing facility in Texas, expected to open in 2026. The 250,000-square-foot facility near Houston will produce servers powering Apple Intelligence and Private Cloud Compute, previously manufactured overseas, creating thousands of jobs.

Apple's investment also encompasses the creation of 20,000 new jobs nationwide, with a focus on research and development, silicon engineering, software development, and AI and machine learning. Furthermore, Apple is doubling its U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund to $10 billion, supporting innovation and high-skilled manufacturing. The fund includes a multibillion-dollar commitment to advanced silicon chip production at TSMC's Arizona facility and the opening of an "Apple Manufacturing Academy" in Detroit, Michigan.

Apple is planning to integrate Apple Intelligence into the Vision Pro to revitalize sales of the $3,500 device. According to reports, a new update, visionOS 2.4, slated for release as early as April, will include AI-powered features and a spatial content app. Developers may gain access even earlier. The integration aims to address concerns over the headset's high price and limited app support, leveraging features like Writing Tools, Genmojis, and the Image Playground app. Apple Intelligence, still rolling out to iPhone 15 users and newer Macs, could potentially boost user interest in the Vision Pro.

Apple has also unveiled its first custom-designed C1 modem, debuting in the $599 iPhone 16e. This new modem promises improved battery life and network performance, reducing the company's reliance on Qualcomm. The C1 modem subsystem combines a 4-nanometer baseband modem with a 7-nanometer transceiver, and has undergone extensive testing with carriers globally. The iPhone 16e, which replaces older models like the iPhone SE and iPhone 14, features the A18 chip and Apple Intelligence, aiming to offer a budget-friendly option with premium AI capabilities.
