Overview

  • Apple disclosed Wednesday that it has expanded a long-term supply agreement with Broadcom through 2031 valued at more than $30 billion.
  • The companies said the deal will produce at least 15 billion FBAR radiofrequency filters in the United States, with FBAR filters being small components that tune and isolate wireless signals for devices.
  • Broadcom will invest $1.5 billion to expand its Fort Collins, Colorado, factory to support production and modernization of RF component manufacturing.
  • Apple framed the agreement as part of its previously announced $600 billion U.S. investment commitment and publicly thanked the Trump administration for supporting projects like this.
  • The firms also report ongoing work on specialized chips intended to support a planned Apple AI server, a collaboration the companies describe as developing and that could influence Apple’s future data-center hardware choices.
