Latest fact check

No credible evidence shows Apple committed $650 billion to U.S. investment. Apple's official announcements say it pledged more than $500 billion (Feb 24, 2025) and later added $100 billion (Aug 6, 2025), bringing its publicly stated U.S. commitment to $600 billion over the multi‑year period; reputable news outlets (Reuters, Apple Newsroom, White House) report $600 billion, not $650 billion. Verdict: False — the claim contradicts Apple’s and major news outlets’ public statements.
