Apple Adds U.S.-Based Titanium Supplier for New Foldable iPhone
Apple is expanding its domestic manufacturing efforts by adding a new titanium supplier, Perryman Company in Pennsylvania, to support production of the upcoming foldable iPhone Duo. The company has committed up to $100 million over three years to this partnership as part of broader initiatives under its American Manufacturing Program (AMP). This move aligns with Apple's strategy to increase U.S.-based component manufacturing despite final assembly still occurring overseas. Apple is also expanding a collaboration with Qnity Electronics in Delaware for advanced camera components used on the iPhone 18 Pro. The company faces supply constraints, as preorder wait times reached up to 14 weeks and shipments are expected below initial forecasts due to production challenges.
