Apple will start making Mac minis in the US
Apple will start manufacturing Mac minis for the US market at a new 220,000 sq ft plant in Houston later this year — its most concrete step yet toward delivering on a $500 billion domestic investment pledge made after Tim Cook met with President Trump. The choice of the Mac mini is strategic: it's a low-volume product that's easier to produce locally, unlike the iPhone which depends on deeply entrenched Chinese manufacturing expertise. It's a politically smart move that checks the "made in America" box, but don't expect iPhones assembled in Texas anytime soon.
