Apple announced Tuesday it plans to move production of its Mac mini desktop computer to Houston, Texas, later this year.<\/p>\n

The move comes less than a year after Apple CEO Tim Cook pledged that the California-based company would invest $600 billion over four years to boost U.S. manufacturing. Apple\u2019s announcement comes in the wake of President Donald Trump pushing American companies to bring manufacturing back home as part of his \u201cMade in America\u201d agenda.<\/p>\n

\u201cApple is deeply committed to the future of American manufacturing, and we\u2019re proud to significantly expand our footprint in Houston with the production of Mac mini starting later this year,\u201d Cook said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The company plans to build Mac minis alongside its advanced AI servers in a new Advanced Manufacturing Center slated to open this year. The new facility will double the size of Apple\u2019s operations at its Houston site, the company noted.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s move is the latest development among Silicon Valley tech giants and other major firms who are choosing to move part or all of their operations to Texas in the past six years. Tesla, SpaceX, Oracle, Hewlett-Packard, Chevron and Charles Schwab have all moved their headquarters to the Lone Star State from California.<\/p>\n

The migration of companies from California to Texas has put the state on the map for tech-based growth with Austin\u2019s booming tech sector earning the nickname \u201cSilicon Hills.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s decision to invest in the U.S. was announced at a meeting between Cook and Trump in 2025. <\/strong>The president has…<\/p>\n
