From Fox Business: Apple will begin producing Mac minis in Houston later this year for the first time, expanding its U.S. manufacturing footprint and creating what the company said will be “thousands of jobs.”
The expansion will effectively double the size of Apple’s Houston campus and increase production of advanced artificial intelligence servers used in the company’s U.S. data centers.
Apple said Tuesday it will also open a 20,000-square-foot Advanced Manufacturing Center in Houston focused on hands-on workforce training. CEO Tim Cook said the expansion reflects the company’s previously announced commitment to increase U.S. manufacturing, adding that AI server shipments from Houston are ahead of schedule.
The Mac mini will be assembled at a new factory on the Houston campus. The company said servers built there – including logic boards manufactured onsite – are being deployed across its U.S. data center network.
Apple CEO Tim Cook announced Tuesday, “As part of our $600B commitment, Mac mini will be produced in the US for the first time later this year!”
“We’re accelerating our progress even further— producing more AI servers and opening an all-new Apple Advanced Manufacturing Center for hands-on training,” Cook added.
