Apple to produce Mac Minis in Houston for the first time — US chip sourcing tops 20 billion units

Apple will start producing the Mac Mini in Houston, Texas, for the first time, as part of its $600 billion U.S. manufacturing commitment. The decision follows threats of tariffs on Apple products made overseas. The Houston facility will focus on serving domestic demand, with some production continuing in China and Vietnam. Apple sourced over 20 billion U.S.-made chips last year and is aggressively building a domestic semiconductor supply chain. The company is also constructing an Advanced Manufacturing Center at the Houston campus for training in Apple's production techniques.
