Apple announced plans Monday morning to spend more than $500 billion in the U.S. over the next four years. The outlay will include money spent with domestic suppliers and on the opening of a manufacturing facility to produce the servers needed to support the company's artificial-intelligence service, called Apple Intelligence. The company also said it plans to open a facility in Detroit to train "the next generation of U.S. manufacturers."
