Apple's Extensive And Growing Footprint In Texas -- August 9, 2025

Apple’s Texas Footprint

1. 

Austin – Silicon Hills HQ & Manufacturing Hub

• Two major campuses:

  • A 216,000 ft² campus (opened 2014) hosting ~500 engineers dedicated to Apple Silicon architecture and hardware engineering.

  • A 1.1 million ft² campus (opened 2021) employing ~6,000 people in roles like technical support, Apple Maps data, online retail, and supply chain coordination.

• Manufacturing:

  • Apple produces the Mac Pro in Austin in a UL Zero Waste–certified assembly facility. This facility handles hardware assembly and brings together U.S. supply chains.

2. 

Houston – AI Server Manufacturing

• Apple plans to build a 250,000 ft² facility in Houston by 2026. It will produce servers specifically for Apple Intelligence (AI infrastructure).

• This project is part of Apple’s historic $500 billion U.S. investment over four years — including expanded R&D, manufacturing, and hiring.

• It will create thousands of jobs, reinforce Apple’s AI computing infrastructure, and help anchor AI server production domestically.

3. 

Statewide – Supply Chain & Chip Manufacturing Investments

• As part of an expanded $600 billion U.S. manufacturing pledge, Apple is forging collaborations across Texas with:

  • Samsung in Taylor for next-gen iPhone image sensor production.

  • GlobalWafers, Texas Instruments, and Coherent in Sherman and Fort Worth for chip-related manufacturing and specialized components (e.g., rare-earth magnet sourcing).

Apple is establishing a new AI server manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas, as part of a larger $500 billion investment in the U.S. over the next four years. This 250,000-square-foot facility, set to open in 2026, will focus on producing servers for Apple Intelligence, the company's AI system. The facility represents a reshoring of critical manufacturing operations from overseas and will play a key role in supporting Apple's AI initiatives
