Foxconn will assemble the computer at its facility in Houston, Texas.<\/p>\n<p>The assembled units will primarily serve local demand.<\/p>\n<h2>Made in US Mac mini coming later in 2026<\/h2>\n<p>Apple mainly assembles its products, including iPhones and Macs, in China, India, Vietnam and Malaysia. Mac minis are primarily assembled in Vietnam and China.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite the United States being one of Apple\u2019s largest markets, the company has historically avoided large-scale domestic assembly due to higher labor and operational costs.<\/p>\n<p>Apple COO Sabih Khan confirmed plans to assemble the Mac mini in the US in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. The move is a part of Apple\u2019s commitment to invest up to $600 billion in the US by 2029.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As part of this, the company has also promised to make 100% of iPhones and Apple Watch cover glass in the US. Corning is making the world\u2019s largest smartphone glass production line at its Harrodsburg facility to achieve this.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Inside Apple\u2019s Multibillion-Dollar Push to Make Chips in the U.S. | WSJ\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ktFlaBhpMu8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Not a full-scale manufacturing effort<\/h3>\n<p>Local production of the Mac mini won\u2019t dramatically alter Apple\u2019s global supply chain footprint, but it does signal a continued effort to diversify manufacturing and reduce overreliance on a single region. That said, the Mac mini remains a relatively niche product within Apple\u2019s Mac lineup. It accounts for a smaller share of overall shipments compared to the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro.<\/p>\n<p>This will not be Apple\u2019s first attempt at US-based production. It previously assembled the Mac Pro in Austin, Texas, in 2019, though that effort remained relatively limited in scale. The upcoming Mac mini assembly appears to follow a similar model,&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/news\/apple-is-bringing-mac-mini-production-home\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple is bringing Mac mini production home https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/news\/apple-is-bringing-mac-mini-production-home Publish Date: 2026-02-24 01:03:00 Source Domain: www.cultofmac.com&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":216776,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cult_logo_featured_image_missing_default1920x1080.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[53,63,50,51],"class_list":["post-216775","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-macintosh","tag-mac-mini","tag-mac-pro","tag-macbook-air","tag-macbook-pro"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216775"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=216775"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216775\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":216777,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216775\/revisions\/216777"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/216776"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=216775"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=216775"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=216775"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
