Apple is building a new 133-acre campus in Austin, Texas, only a mile away from its existing offices in the city.
According to Apple, this new campus may one day support as many as 15,000 employees.
But Apple also said it planned to expand to 1,000 employees in other areas, including Seattle, where it has people working on artificial intelligence and Apple Maps.
Apple has been assembling a team of robotics and data collection experts to fly drones to improve Apple Maps, Bloomberg reported in 2016.
Apple is also expanding in Culver City, Los Angeles, where it will take over a property previously earmarked for HBO. Apple is likely to base its original content operations here.

Apple is also growing in San Diego, California, where Apple's current corporate nemesis, Qualcomm, is based.
Bloomberg reports that Apple is aggressively hiring engineers there so it can build its own wireless modem and cut Qualcomm components out of its products.
North Carolina may not have gotten the new Apple campus, as it hoped, but it has a major data center in Maiden, which is being expanded.
There's also a big data center under expansion in Reno, Nevada.
The data center spans 1.1 million feet on 1,7000 acres of land, and Apple is investing $2.6 billion in the space, Reno Gazette Journal reports.
Last year, Apple said it would build a data center in Iowa, outside of Des Moines.
Apple said it would provide services for iMessage, Siri, the App Store, and other Apple services, and will run on renewable energy.
Apple also said on Thursday that it opened an office in Nashville, Tennessee — where Amazon is also expanding.
Apple also has locations all over the country through its Apple stores, which are usually located in city centers or upscale malls. Apple says that it plans to add more stores and that it's added 7,000 retail jobs over the past five years.
So while most of Apple's core research and development takes place in Silicon Valley, there's a good chance that there are people who work for Apple living near you.
Apple continues to grow, with 6,000 new jobs in the past year, and a goal to create 20,000 jobs by 2023. Apple also mentioned on Thursday that it wants to expand in Pittsburgh, New York, and Boulder, Colorado.
