We were pleased to share recently that Mac mini production is coming to America later this year, expanding our factory operations in Houston with a brand new facility. In March, we were thrilled to welcome four new companies to our American manufacturing program to help manufacture essential materials and components for Apple Inc. products sold worldwide. These include sensors that support key iPhone features like camera stabilization and integrated circuits essential for features like crash detection and activity tracking. These efforts build on the progress we have made in the American program, including the work we are doing to advance an end-to-end silicon supply chain across the US. At TSMC’s Arizona facility, for example, Apple Inc. is on track to purchase well over 100 million advanced chips. As we are accelerating our long-standing support for US innovation, we are also investing in America’s workforce. We are looking forward to opening the doors to an all-new advanced manufacturing center in Houston later this year, which will provide hands-on training led by Apple Inc. experts and tailor-made for students, supplier employees, and American businesses. Whether around the world or in our own backyard, we are proud of the difference Apple Inc. has made to enrich lives and support the communities we serve. Looking ahead, we are delighted to welcome developers back to Apple Park for WWDC 2026. We cannot wait to share what we have been working on. From AI advancements to exciting new software and developer tools, it is going to be an incredible week. As always, we remain in relent”
