Apple will spend more than $500 billion in the U.S. over the next four years Teams and facilities to expand in Michigan, Texas, California, Arizona, Nevada, Iowa, Oregon, North Carolina, and Washington Plans include a new factory in Texas, doubling the U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund, a manufacturing academy, and accelerated investments in AI and silicon engineering
What products are they building here Tom?
Apple has a history of these pledges, I'm not sure if anyone has ever really tracked it, but the consensus is that they never actually hit the number that they pledged. Here's an Apple Newsroom press release early in the Biden Administration, I'm sure MAGA is completely unaware of it due to their biased news sources.
It was nice of Apple to bump the Trump number by $70 billion, it must be because of Bidenflation. Of course, Biden was able to get Apple to pledge without any additional tariffs or market chaos, drama queen Trump couldn't do it without making sure he got a bunch of headlines with his antics.

I commented on that post, I also saved it to refer back to over the next few years, let's see what really happens to these promises.

And how much "from other companies" manufacturing/production is being moved overseas because of Trumpiffs?
FOXCONN promised Trump a 10 billion dollar factory in Wisconsin with 15K workers.
And that was just them playing him.
There's alot of that going on now. No doubt some reshoring is occurring and thats a good thing. IPhones will never be made here nor would you want them to be unless you want to pay double what they cost now.
