This collaboration aims to propel the development of cutting-edge wireless connectivity components and 5G radio frequency (RF) components, including FBAR filters. These FBAR filters will be meticulously designed and manufactured in strategic American technology and manufacturing hubs, notably including Fort Collins, Colorado, where Broadcom maintains a prominent facility.

We’re exciting to make commitments that harness the ingenuity, creativity, and innovative spirit of American manufacturing,said Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, regarding the partnership. Because we have a firm conviction in the future of the United States, we will keep increasing our investments in the American economy. All of Apple’s products rely on technology that is designed and produced here.

Apple already contributes to the support of over 1,100 jobs at Broadcom’s Fort Collins FBAR filter manufacturing facility. This partnership will enable Broadcom to sustain its investments in critical automation projects and enhance the skills of technicians and engineers. Nationwide, Apple generates employment for more than 2.7 million individuals through direct employment, developer roles within the thriving iOS app economy, and collaborations with over 9,000 suppliers and manufacturers of all scales across diverse sectors in all 50 states.

Future consumer electronics are being shaped by the introduction of 5G technology, and Apple is investing tens of billions of dollars to lead its development in the United States.
