Inside Apple’s INSANE Macbook Factory
The Apple Macbook is no doubt an effortless piece of technology. It’s absolute perfection which almost leaves us wondering how does the big tech company manages to pull it off. Where’s Apple's flagship laptop exactly made? How’s Apply managing the manufacturing process? We'll go into the details of the MacBook in today's guide. So join us on our journey into the factory, and stay tuned for more!
The Macbook is one the sweetest piece of technology ever, with a sleek design that remains unmatched. Most of the Macs are manufactured in China. They’re then shipped all over the world. Apple's decision to outsource to China is largely because China's always been known for churning out more products in a short period of time.
Now, something to point here's that Macbooks are designed in Cupertino, but the manufacturing happens in China. Manufacturing the Macbook obviously requires the utmost care, and it seems like Apple has entrusted the task to Foxconn, one of its supply chains in China.
Foxconn is a Taiwanese-based supplier. According to reports, Apple isn't the only customer of Foxconn. The company is one of the largest private employers in mainland China, providing jobs to more than 1.4 million workers. It manufactures computers, communication, and consumer products for world-renowned brands, but the company declined to name its clients publicly.
It got more and more unwanted attention in a Pulitzer prize-winning investigation that focused on the factory's working conditions but we’ll discuss that another time. The company employs hundreds of thousands of anonymous Apple workers who assemble Macbooks.
Back in 2012, Foxconn gave a tour of the thriving manufacturing facility located in Shenzhen in the South China province of Guangdong.
Apple is most famously known for making iPads and Macbooks here. A special assistant to the CEO escorted the reporters to portray a picture of workers being treated well and with care, but the reporters weren't allowed to observe the factory floor.
Anyways, the factory owns a 1.4-mile square complex that houses more than 140 employees and speaks to Shenzhen's identity as a global manufacturing hub. The city was once just a fishing village in the Pearl River Delta Region and was designated a special economic zone back in the 1980s. The population has now grown from 30,000 to more than 10 million as workers from the rural regions of the country started to migrate to the fast-growing city, which is declared as a city of opportunity.
The nondescript white factory buildings are not far from Foxconn's entrance. The factory is enclosed by walls from all sides, giving it an institution-like feeling.
