Apple Says 100 Components for iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro Are Made in the US

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Apple has announced new and expanded partnerships with two US manufacturing companies to supply components and materials for two of its flagship phones, the iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro.

Following the partnership announcements, Apple said that 100 components for the iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro are now made in its home country.

A report by MacRumors on Tuesday (20 October), local time, said the two companies are Perryman and Qnity Electronics.

Apple is expanding its existing partnership with Perryman, with investment of up to US$100 million (around Rp1.7 trillion) over the next three years. Perryman will produce titanium material used in the iPhone Duo’s casing.

Qnity, a company based in Delaware, will produce “advanced film” for the variable-aperture camera system in the iPhone 18 Pro models.

“We are proud to work with Perryman and Qnity Electronics to continue expanding our American Manufacturing Programme and support jobs in the US,” Apple said.

Apple said that by the end of 2026, Corning will manufacture all cover glass for every iPhone and Apple Watch model sold worldwide at its facility in Kentucky.

Apple CEO John Ternus also highlighted the US manufacturing announcement in a post on X, underscoring the company’s commitment to developing jobs and technological innovation in the United States.
