Apple is expanding manufacturing in Vietnam with Chinese EV maker BYD to produce a new screen-equipped HomePod hub and a mobile AI robot launching in 2027, part of a broader shift away from China amid geopolitical tensions and trade risks.
The HomePod hub, delayed to spring 2026, will feature a FaceTime camera, user recognition, and AI-powered Siri with web-based answers.
BYD will handle final assembly, testing, and packaging, supporting expanded iPad production in Vietnam.
