Summary
Tim Cook cut the ribbon on a new Houston facility that will build Mac Minis and host free training classes, marking Apple's latest U.S. manufacturing expansion.
Hundreds of millions of dollars went into the site, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Apple could help lead a broader return of advanced manufacturing to the United States.
The opening comes as Apple faces sustained political pressure to localize more production; earlier reports said the Houston center will also support AI-server manufacturing.
The event also lands near the end of Cook's CEO tenure, with CNBC saying it may preview a larger policy-facing role for him after the leadership transition.
