Apple awards Corning $45 million from its Advanced Manufacturing Fund
Today, Apple is awarding $45 million from its Advanced Manufacturing Fund to Corning Incorporated, a supplier of precision glass for iPhone, Apple Watch, and iPad. The funding will expand Corning’s manufacturing capacity in the US and drive research and development into innovative new technologies that support durability and long-lasting product life, building on both Apple and Corning’s deep commitment to protecting the environment.
Corning has already received $450 million from Apple’s $5 billion Advanced Manufacturing Fund over the last four years. Apple’s investment helps support more than 1,000 jobs across Corning’s US operations in Kentucky and other facilities. The investment has also helped facilitate research and development into state-of-the-art glass processes, which led to the creation of Ceramic Shield, a new material that is tougher than any smartphone glass.

Apple has awarded Corning $45 million from its Advanced Manufacturing Fund. Corning is famous for its Gorilla Glass which makes mobile devices more durable and longer-lasting. Apple’s decision comes just five days after it announced a $410 million award from the same fund to the optical technology firm II-VI.
Apple said that Corning has previously received $450 million from its $5 billion Advanced Manufacturing Fund over the last four years which has helped Corning support over 1,000 jobs across the United States in areas such as Kentucky. The funds have also helped boost Corning’s research and development leading to the creation of Ceramic Shield which comes with the iPhone 12 series.

Apple has pumped a further $410 million into a key supplier for its laser tech, used in the iPhone and iPad cameras for Face ID and the LiDAR Scanner. The investment is the second the Cupertino firm has made in II-VI, and one which Apple suggests will get it earlier access to upcoming components for next-gen devices.
Back in 2017, Apple pulled $390 million from its Advanced Manufacturing Fund for the company, which was then known as Finisar. At that point, Apple said, the cash was going to help increase the high-volume production of so-called VCSELs, or vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers, in addition to raising spend on research and development.
