The funding will expand Corning's manufacturing capacity in the United States and drive research and development into innovative new technologies that support durability and long-lasting product life, building on both Apple and Corning's commitment to protecting the environment, the announcement said.
Corning has already received 450 million U.S. dollars from Apple's 5 billion dollars Advanced Manufacturing Fund over the last four years, according to the announcement.
"Apple and Corning have a long history of working together to accomplish the impossible," said Jeff Williams, Apple's chief operating officer. "We're so proud to work alongside Corning, whose 170-year-old legacy is a testament to the ingenuity of the U.S. workforce."
