The iPhone maker said that its existing partnerships with Broadcom already help support 1,100 jobs in Broadcom’s FBAR filter manufacturing facility in Fort Collins.

With the new partnership, Broadcom will be able to invest in key automation initiatives and train technicians and engineers, it added.

“Broadcom has agreed to supply Apple with specified components and modules for Apple products and to maintain and allocate to them sufficient manufacturing capacity and other resources to make these products,” the chip maker said in a stock filing.

Earlier this week, Applied Materials, which supplies tools for semiconductor manufacturing, said that it will invest $4bn in a US-based chip research and development facility.

Last year, the US government approved the US Chips and Science Act, allowing it to provide over $52bn in subsidies to promote domestic chip development.
