Apple begins shipping AI servers from Houston factory
Apple has started shipping artificial intelligence servers built in a factory in Houston, it said on Thursday, part of the company’s plans to invest US$600 billion in the US in the next few years.
The servers contain special chips that help Apple deliver AI features with the same privacy measures on its iPhones and Mac computers.
US President Donald Trump has pressed Apple to make iPhones in the United States, but Apple CEO Tim Cook has said that assembly is likely to remain overseas for the time being while Apple sources more of the key chips and components for the phone from the US.
Servers from the factory will be installed in Apple‘s data centres throughout the US, Apple said on Thursday.
“Our teams have done an incredible job accelerating work to get the new Houston factory up and running ahead of schedule and we plan to continue expanding the facility to increase production next year,” Apple chief operating officer Sabih Khan said in a statement. REUTERS
