Apple signs $30B+ deal with Broadcom for US-made wireless chips

Apple committed over $30B to Broadcom for more than 15 billion US-made custom wireless connectivity chips, plus $1.5B in capex to expand Broadcom's Fort Collins, Colorado plant. The deal is a slice of Apple's $600B US investment pledge made under Trump tariff pressure, and it yields only "hundreds" of jobs while iPhone assembly stays overseas — a marker that the spend buys political cover more than a manufacturing shift.
