Apple’s Chief Operating Officer, Sabih Khan, has announced that the company’s new Houston-based manufacturing plant is shipping domestically produced AI servers ahead of the projected timeline. This development is part of Apple’s broader $600 billion investment in U.S. infrastructure, which includes the establishment of a 250,000-square-foot server manufacturing facility in Houston. Initially slated to commence mass production in 2026, the facility produced its first test unit in July and has now begun early shipments.
These servers are integral to powering Apple Intelligence and form the foundation of the company’s Private Cloud Compute infrastructure. The acceleration aligns with the administration’s push to expedite domestic manufacturing projects, with a White House official noting the President’s approval of Apple’s swift response to bringing jobs back to the U.S.
