The Tech Giant, Apple has announced that it will be investing $500bn in the United States of America over the next four years to support technology.

The company also says it would build a large data center in Texas to power Apple Intelligence.

The tech giant said it expected to create 20,000 new jobs over that time, with the “vast majority” of roles in research and development, software and artificial intelligence (AI).

The announcement comes days after Apple boss Tim Cook met with President Donald Trump, who has made increased corporate investment in the US a priority.

In its announcement, Apple said its investment was its “largest-ever spend commitment” and would expand its support for American manufacturing.

“We are bullish on the future of American innovation,” Cook said.

The new 250,000 Sqft factory in Houston, Texas, is set to produce servers that were “previously manufactured outside the US” to support Apple Intelligence, the company’s AI system, the company said.

The company’s chief executive Tim Cook also said it may have to change its policies on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) after President Donald Trump has called for an end to DEI programs.
