Apple has begun shipping domestically assembled AI servers from a new Houston facility, a step the company says supports a $600 billion U.S. investment plan. The Texas-built racks use Apple’s own chips and will power Apple Intelligence and its Private Cloud Compute services, with production slated to expand next year. The shift marks a notable onshoring move for a company long reliant on overseas assembly and could add thousands of U.S. jobs. The initiative also aligns with political pressure to bolster domestic manufacturing, even as tariff policy and broader supply-chain dynamics remain potential swing factors.
