Apple said it would commit up to $100 million with Perryman over three years. Titanium for iPhone Duo is melted, forged and rolled at Perryman’s Houston, Pennsylvania site with at least 80% recycled content, according to Apple.

The advanced films for iPhone 18 Pro will support its variable-aperture camera technology. Apple also described a growing U.S.-made component base; the release included updates on some previously announced investments and factory projects.
