“Apple says the cash will help Finisar, a chip maker, restart a 700,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Sherman, Texas, by the second half of next year. The new plant will create 500 “high-skill” jobs. Finisar produces “vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers” (VCSELs), which power some Apple’s newest features, including Face ID, Animoji, Portrait mode selfies and AirPods.”

Wow! A couple of decades ago I worked with Frank Levinson, the founder of Finnisar at another company involved in systems using electro-optics.

I just can’t keep up with all the new tech. I have an iPad, but what the heck is an AirPod?

Trump got this dialogue going.

It’s paying off.

Apple invests $390 Million in Finisar, a chip maker in Sherman Texas that will create 500 American highly skilled jobs in their Texas plant making "vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers" (VCSELs), which power some Apple's newest features, including Face ID, Animoji, Portrait mode selfies and AirPods. The investment will go toward rebooting a previously closed 700,000-square-foot manufacturing facility. — PING!

But Apple is a liberal, America-hating company... you know... gay and all... or something.

Seriously, I’m sure there will be plenty (including the regular trolls here on FR) who will find some kind of fault with Apple actually expanding US manufacturing and US jobs in general...
