Apple is gearing up to shift some of its Mac Mini production to the United States, marking a strategic move to align with the Trump administration’s push for increased domestic manufacturing. The production is slated to kick off later this year in north Houston, Texas, at a Foxconn facility that already handles assembly of Apple’s AI servers.

“Apple is firmly committed to advancing American manufacturing, and we’re thrilled to significantly grow our presence in Houston by commencing Mac Mini production later this year,” announced Apple CEO Tim Cook. “We’ve already begun early shipments of advanced AI servers from Houston, and we’re eager to expedite these efforts even more.”

This initiative is part of Apple’s broader plan to inject $600 billion into the U.S. economy over the next four years. This pledge came on the heels of President Donald Trump’s threat to impose a 25 percent tariff on products manufactured by Apple overseas. However, a large portion of that $600 billion isn’t directly allocated to expanding domestic manufacturing.

In a conversation with The Wall Street Journal, Apple’s Chief Operating Officer Sabih Khan stated that the objective is to boost U.S. production of the Mac Mini to cater to local demand, although the company will continue producing thousands of these desktops in Asia. Apple had previously started assembling some of its Mac Pro computers in Austin, Texas, back in 2013, but according to Khan, production there has waned due to reduced demand.

Though the Mac Mini is Apple’s most budget-friendly desktop, it accounts for less than 1 percent of the company’s overall sales and under 5 percent of global Mac sales, as per estimates from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners. Khan expressed optimism about expanding Mac Mini production in Houston, citing more stable demand compared to the Mac Pro. Despite these efforts, both products represent only a small fraction of the 240 million iPhones Apple sells annually, and the company currently has no plans to relocate iPhone production from Asia to the U.S.
