Apple has been in Cork for 30 years and currently employs 2,800 people in the city.
In the three months from October to December last year, revenues in markets serviced by the Cork plant grew 55% year-on-year.
Apple's Senior Director for Corporate Communications Alan Hely said the company plans to increase its workforce in the city to 3,300 over the next 18 months.
Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Richard Bruton and senior officials in IDA Ireland have been involved in meetings on the project in Ireland and with Apple management in the US over several months.
IDA Ireland Chief Executive Barry O'Leary said: "This development continues the strong trend of investment over the past years in Ireland, in particular from global ICT companies and demonstrates Ireland's continuing success in attracting FDI additional investment."
