Apple has been looking to diversify its supply chain, and one of the new major product lines is in Vietnam. Rumours have it that Foxconn will begin producing MacBook models in Vietnam as early as May 2023. The Taiwanese company was granted a license in January 2021 to build a US$270 million plant in Vietnam for manufacturing MacBooks and iPads. 

This new plant is developed by Fukang Technology and will be located in the northern Vietnamese province of Bac Giang. The factory is projected to produce eight million laptops and tablets annually. Aside from the Apple MacBook, the Vietnam plant is expected to produce the Apple Watch and HomePod as well.
