On March 12th, Apple announced the expansion of its applied research laboratory in China to support product manufacturing.
It is reported that Apple will not only enhance its capabilities at the Shanghai research center to provide reliability, quality, and material analysis support for all product lines, but also open a brand new application research laboratory in Shenzhen later this year. This new facility will provide stronger support for employees in the entire region and deepen cooperation with local suppliers. This new laboratory will enhance testing and research capabilities for products such as iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro.
It is reported that Apple has invested over 1 billion yuan in its application research laboratory, and this investment will continue to grow with the addition of new facilities in Shenzhen. The laboratory provides resources to engineering and design teams worldwide, helping them test prototypes, make improvements, and ensure that each device meets Apple's quality and performance standards.
