Vietnam is one of the countries that is manufacturing and assembling many accessories and Apple devices and exporting them to markets around the world . Recently, in the announcement of expanding the training program for employees in the supply chain in Vietnam, the list of Apple devices "Made in Vietnam" was listed for the first time by the company including iPad tablets, Mac computers (including MacBook and Mac Mini), HomePod speakers, AirPods headphones and Apple Watch.

Apple devices made in Vietnam have become popular since around 2020, starting with AirPods. This is also the product with the most "Made in Vietnam" labels in the category. According to analysts' estimates, by the end of 2025, Vietnam will contribute about 65% of the total AirPods production globally. This ratio is 20% for iPad and Apple Watch, while MacBook accounts for 5%. Mac Mini 2024 - the first Mac model to meet carbon neutral standards to protect the environment is a new name in the list of Apple devices made in Vietnam. This also shows that the domestic production process is meeting high global standards.
Although produced in large quantities, these products are sold mainly in the European and American markets instead of Southeast Asia or Vietnam. Take the Mac Mini 2024 as an example, this product is sold in the UK and the US, while the model currently sold in the Vietnamese market is manufactured in China. As for the iPhone, this product is not currently assembled in Vietnam, but mainly in India and China.
Recently, Apple's supply chain partners have also stepped up the opening or expansion of production and assembly facilities in Vietnam. At the end of 2024, Fukang Technology (a subsidiary of Foxconn) will operate a new iPad and MacBook assembly line in Bac Giang province. Foxconn also has many factories located in 5 provinces and cities with a total workforce of about 80,000 and an investment capital of 4 billion USD.
In April 2024, Apple announced a list of its supply chain, noting that the number of its manufacturing partners with factories or offices in Vietnam increased from 27 to 35 units in the period 2022 - 2023, leading Southeast Asia and fourth in the world.
