In an interview with Fox News, Apple's Chief Operating Officer, Sabih Khan, revealed that the new 25-square-foot factory in north Houston was originally scheduled to begin operations in 2026. However, due to the ahead-of-time construction schedule, the factory was able to begin shipping AI servers ahead of schedule.
