Hello everyone, today Xiaobian has come to share the latest information with you. According to reports, some insiders said that the SMT process of Mac Studio was completed in Malaysia, and the final assembly is still completed in China.
It is understood that Apple's Mac Studio desktop has been officially released, and Bloomberg's Mark Gurman previously released a picture showing that mac Studio is marked "Made in Malaysia".
Earlier, there was news that Apple had asked its suppliers to start planning to move production from China to Southeast Asia. In January last year, it was reported that Apple accelerated the shift of production lines, moving the production lines of iPhones, iPads, Macs and other products out of the Chinese mainland. But to this day, China has been a key part of Apple's product manufacturing.
Today, industry professional analyst Ming-Chi Kuo commented on the tweet, saying that more accurately, Mac Studio's SMT process was completed in Malaysia, while the final assembly is still completed in China.
He said that due to the high added value of SMT, the label read "Made in Malaysia". The purpose of this is to reduce tariffs and avoid some potential risks.
It is understood that SMT patch refers to the abbreviation of the series of processes processed on the basis of PCB, and is one of the most popular technologies and processes in the electronic assembly industry.
