Apple Is Bringing Mac Mini Production To Texas Now

• Apple will also scale up AI server production at the site and open a dedicated training hub focused.
• The company began building advanced AI servers at Houston in 2025.
• The Houston expansion builds on Apple’s previously announced $600 billion U.S. investment plan.

Apple Inc. (AAPL) said on Tuesday that it will considerably expand its manufacturing footprint in Houston, shifting production of its Mac Mini to the United States for the first time and increasing output of advanced artificial intelligence servers. 

The move marks a major step in the tech giant’s broader push to deepen domestic manufacturing and invest in U.S. workers.

Mac Mini Production Heads To Texas

The company confirmed that Mac Mini assembly will begin later this year at a new facility on its Houston campus, which will double in size as part of the expansion. 

Apple will also scale up AI server production at the site and open a dedicated training hub focused on advanced manufacturing skills. Apple stock inched 0.3% higher in Tuesday’s premarket. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around the stock remained in ‘bearish’ territory amid ‘low’ message volume levels. 

The company began building advanced AI servers at Houston in 2025, and production has progressed faster than initially projected. Servers assembled in Texas, including locally produced logic boards, power Apple data centers nationwide.

Part Of A Broader U.S. Investment

The Houston expansion builds on Apple’s previously announced $600 billion U.S. investment plan. The company said it has already sourced more than 20 billion chips from 24 domestic factories across 12 states, working with partners such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSM) and Texas Instruments Inc. (TXN). Additional projects include semiconductor and materials investments in Texas, Arizona and Kentucky.

Apple has been facing heat after reports said the company had postponed its highly anticipated AI improvements to Siri again after the latest testing uncovered problems with the upgrade. The company had aimed to introduce the new AI features with iOS 26.4 in March. 

AAPL stock has gained over 7% in the last 12 months.
