    Apple to Give Glass Supplier Corning $250 Million in Manufacturing Funds

    The $450 million total funding will be used for ‘state of the art’ glass materials, equipment and processes needed to deliver next-gen consumer devices, which include the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11.

    Apple Glass Supplier Manufacturing Funds

    The Advanced Manufacturing Fund program was created to support high skill jobs and innovative production that propel new technology-driven manufacturing in the US. Apple has invested $10M to Elysis and $390M to Finisar. 

    Apple has partnered with Corning since 2007 for its glass product used in Apple Watch and the iPhone. The iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11 use Corning glass manufactured in Harrodsburg, Kentucy. The company has provided glass for iPads, and all generations of Apple Watch and the iPhone. Apple has spent approximately $3 billion on Corning glass for use on its devices.
