Apple is answering President Donald Trump’s call to bring manufacturing back home — and it’s doing it ahead of schedule. The tech giant has begun building and shipping American-made artificial intelligence servers from its brand-new Houston facility months earlier than planned, marking a major win for Trump’s push to onshore advanced manufacturing.
“We’re thrilled to be shipping American-made advanced servers from our Houston facility,” Apple COO Sabih Khan told Fox News Digital. “As part of our $600 billion commitment to the United States, these servers will be installed in our data centers and play a key role in powering Apple Intelligence with Private Cloud Compute.”
Initially slated to open in 2026, Apple’s 250,000-square-foot facility is now operational, supplying energy-efficient servers that power Apple’s AI platform — the foundation for iPhone, iPad, and iMac AI capabilities. The servers were previously produced overseas, but Trump’s direct appeal to CEO Tim Cook to “go big” on American jobs prompted Apple to accelerate its U.S. investments.
The Houston facility, built with local contractors and in partnership with Houston City College, will expand next year to increase production. A White House official praised Apple’s rapid response, saying, “The President likes things getting done ahead of schedule, so it’s good to see Apple quickly responding to his call to bring American jobs back to our country.”
Apple’s domestic manufacturing revival is part of a broader $600 billion U.S. investment plan — including 20,000 new hires, an Apple Manufacturing Academy in Detroit, and expanded operations in 10 states. Trump’s pro-growth agenda isn’t just reshoring supply chains — it’s reviving America’s industrial might.
