News & Reviews:   Apple manufacturing

Have you ever wondered how much it costs for a smartphone manufacturer to produce one unit of the device? Well, a recent teardown of the Apple iPhone 15 series seeks to answer that question, revealing some interesting findings in the process.

Vietnam is set to become one of Apple’s largest production hubs as the tech giant is reportedly planning to make Apple Watches and MacBooks in the country for the first time ever. Currently, Vietnam is already producing a wide range of flagship products for Apple, including the iPad and AirPods.

Apple is reportedly shifting the production of some of its iPad lineup from China to Vietnam in order to soften the blow of supply disruptions in China caused by the country’s Covid-19 lockdowns. This move follows a similar move by the tech giant who previously shifted a chunk of its iPhone’s production to India.
