🤝 Less than a year after Tim Cook's meeting with Trump at the White House, Apple has already opened a factory in Houston, set up production lines, and started assembling Apple Intelligence servers there.
🙂 Next up: production of the new Mac mini, kicking off before the end of 2026.
📰 Cook shared these plans while opening Apple's Advanced Manufacturing Center in Houston — an education hub attached to the factory that will train the next generation of American engineers. Right now it's mainly for Apple employees learning new processes, but the company plans to open it to local college students too, with lectures on PCB design and hands-on access to real equipment.
🇺🇸 Overall, Apple aims to invest up to $600B in the US economy and support 450,000 jobs nationwide. This is the pledge Cook made to Trump last year.
