iPhone 17 leaks have headlined the smartphone market as Apple users are eagerly waiting for the new tech. Now that Apple has announced $600 billion investment pledge in the USA, President Donald Trump stated this is a significant step toward the ultimate goal of ensuring that iPhones sold in America also are made in America.

Despite political pressure, analysts widely agree that building iPhones in the U.S. remains unrealistic due to labor costs and the complexity of the global supply chain.

"The announcement is a savvy solution to the president's demand that Apple manufacture all iPhones in the U.S.," said Nancy Tengler, CEO and CIO of Laffer Tengler Investments, which holds Apple shares. Partners on Apple's latest U.S. investment effort include specialty glass maker Corning, semiconductor manufacturing equipment supplier Applied Materials, and chipmakers Texas Instruments, GlobalFoundries, Broadcom and Samsung.

Apple said Samsung will supply chips from its production plant in Texas for its products including iPhones, while GlobalWafers said it would be supplying 300mm silicon wafers from its Texas plant.
