Speaking to Fox News Digital, Apple’s Chief Operating Officer Sabih Khan confirmed that the company is shipping U.S.-made AI servers from its new Houston plant ahead of schedule. Here are the details.
When Apple announced its $600 billion package to invest in domestic infrastructure earlier this year, it said that part of the money would go towards a server manufacturing facility in Houston:
“Earlier this year, construction began in Houston on the new factory supporting production of advanced Apple servers, and in July, the facility produced its first test unit. The 250,000-square-foot server manufacturing facility is slated to begin mass production in 2026. Previously manufactured outside the U.S., the servers from Houston will play a key role in powering Apple Intelligence, and are the foundation of Private Cloud Compute (…).”
Today, Fox News Digital said that “in response to Trump’s aggressive push to get these projects online as soon as possible,” the servers were being shipped ahead of schedule, as confirmed by Apple COO Sabih Khan:
“We’re thrilled to be shipping American-made advanced servers from our Houston facility. (…) Our teams have done an incredible job accelerating work to get the new Houston factory up and running ahead of schedule.”
In response to the news, a White House official said that 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.”
