Apple: AI Server Assembly Moves to Texas

On February 24, 2026, Apple confirmed the expansion of its manufacturing capacity in Houston. Along with localizing Mac mini assembly, the company is scaling up the production of its own AI servers.

This is a classic Cupertino maneuver: complete control over hardware and software. While others buy ready-made racks, Apple is building a proprietary server architecture to ensure the privacy of Apple Intelligence cloud computing. Localization in the US is a nod to the political push to bring manufacturing back onshore.
