↓ -5%Apple has opened a 20,000-square-foot Advanced Manufacturing Center in Houston, Texas, where it will begin producing Mac mini computers later this year. The facility will provide free training to small and midsized businesses, workers, and students on advanced manufacturing techniques. CEO Tim Cook said Apple has invested hundreds of millions of dollars into the Houston facility over less than nine months. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick thanked Apple for its $600 billion commitment to America, stating that President Trump wanted to bring advanced technology manufacturing back to the country. The tech giant has pledged $600 billion to US investments over four years, focusing on domestic production of chips and components. Apple sourced more than 20 billion chips from US suppliers last year.
Google has unveiled its Pixel 11 series with Gemini Intelligence deeply integrated into the smartphone experience, creating a new benchmark for Apple's upcoming Siri overhaul. The AI assistant can comprehend user activity across messaging, calendars, maps and other services to help take action. This development is significant as Apple is expected to launch an overhauled Siri powered partly by Google's Gemini models. Google's products director Rick Osterloh told CNBC that Pixel and iPhone are heading in "very different directions", with AI potentially becoming the primary way people use devices. For Apple, the challenge lies not in model quality but integration. Since both companies may use the same AI technology, the competitive advantage will depend on how effectively each links that intelligence to their operating system, apps and device ecosystem.
Apple is directing $60 billion of its US investment towards Texas, according to CEO Tim Cook and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The tech giant is expanding its American chip supply chain and plans to manufacture the Mac mini in Houston. The announcement represents a significant portion of Apple's broader US investment strategy. By establishing Mac mini production in Texas, the company is increasing its domestic manufacturing footprint beyond its existing operations. The move aligns with growing pressure on technology companies to bring more production back to the United States. Apple's investment in Texas will support both semiconductor supply chain development and direct manufacturing activities.
Apple CEO Tim Cook joined Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Wednesday to open a new manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas. The site will produce Mac Mini desktop computers later this year and already assembles AI servers for Apple. Cook said Apple spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the facility, which will also offer free training and educational classes on topics like using machine learning for quality control. He noted Apple sourced more than 20 billion chips from the US last year and 100 million from an Arizona facility. The appearance comes as Cook prepares to transition to executive chairman on 1 September, with John Ternus assuming the CEO role.
Apple's stock fell roughly 5% following its fiscal third-quarter earnings report on 30 July. The tech giant posted strong results, with revenue jumping 16% year-over-year to $109.4 billion and earnings per share rising 29% to $2.02. However, the share price decline came after the company issued disappointing guidance for the next quarter, citing ongoing supply constraints. Historical patterns suggest potential recovery ahead. Over the past five years, Apple has experienced similar post-earnings drops of 3% or more on multiple occasions. Following significant declines in April 2022, August 2023, and May 2025, the stock recovered each time rather than extending losses. The company faces a leadership transition, with CEO Tim Cook moving to executive chairman whilst John Ternus assumes the chief executive role.
