Summary
$1.5 billion from Apple will flow to Broadcom's Fort Collins semiconductor plant under a multiyear manufacturing deal expected to exceed $30 billion and produce 15 billion wireless chips.
Apple said the components are critical to smartphone and wireless-device performance, making the investment its largest under the American Manufacturing Program and potentially adding hundreds of local jobs.
Broadcom already employs nearly 1,600 people in Fort Collins, where the site has supplied Apple for years and was backed by another multibillion 5G component deal in 2023.
Fort Collins officials said the agreement could lift tax revenue and possibly spur plant expansion, though no physical expansion has been confirmed.
