Chinese assemblers produce AirPad Max in Vietnam

Last Tuesday, Apple finally unveiled the first Airpod Max brand headphones with a press release to put an end to the many rumors about these headphones. It is now said that Apple is producing its new headphones entirely in Vietnam in order to reduce its dependence on China.

As US-China trade tensions continue, a number of companies, including Apple, plan to relocate their product lines from China to other countries, and now Apple intends to continue this trend with the production of the AirPad Max in Vietnam; It should be noted, however, that the AirPad is still manufactured by Chinese companies in Vietnam.

The headphones are assembled by Chinese companies Luxshare Precision Industry and Goertek, according to Digitimes and supply chain sources. Anonymous sources acknowledge that the two companies, despite working with Taiwanese company Inventec, have defeated Taiwanese competitors in assembling the AirPad Max and have taken over the bulk of AirPod production. Digitimes further claims that the production of AirPad Max in Vietnam indicates the transfer of Apple manufacturers to other countries, and it is said that the production of iPhone in India is increasing.

However, China is still one of the most important manufacturing countries for Apple and other companies, and it has recently been revealed that Apple will reward employees who resume production and work in China once the Corona virus is lifted.
