Apple Launches US AI Server Production in Houston, Trump Endorses Move
Apple has initiated production of AI servers at its Houston factory, marking a strategic shift toward domestic manufacturing. The company's decision drew praise from former President Donald Trump, who called for broader tech industry investment in US facilities.
The Houston facility represents a multi-pronged initiative—advancing Apple's silicon-powered AI infrastructure while creating thousands of American jobs. COO Sabih Khan confirmed the accelerated factory launch will support upcoming Apple Intelligence and Private Cloud Compute services, with expansion plans already slated for 2025.
This onshoring MOVE disrupts Apple's traditional reliance on overseas server production. The Texas-made servers leverage proprietary chip technology, positioning the company to compete in enterprise AI solutions while aligning with political pressures for domestic tech investment.
