Some users who have recently received the AirPods Pro are having the surprise that on the back it no longer says that of: "Designed by Apple in California" "Assembled in China". Now several models of AirPods Pro already add the description of: “Designed by Apple in California” Assembled in Vietnam.
Apple has been with him for a long time relocation of part of the production from China to other countries and one of those that usually appears on the list is Vietnam. In this case, the AirPods Pro were already known to be being assembled directly in the country and The Verge media brings us an image that corroborates it.
Do not be afraid to receive one of these AirPods Pro assembled in Vietnam Far from it, and although it is true that factories in China may have more experience in this work, the products that come from Vietnam and Apple are exactly the same with the same assembly process and same components. Only the place in which they have been mounted changes, the processes are exactly the same.
In Cupertino they want to continue with this policy of decentralization of their production and proof of this is in these AirPods, but we also see it in some iPhone models that are already manufactured in India and in the Macs that many of them are assembled in the United States . Ultimately what seems clear is that manufacturing and assembling products beyond china It is today something that already happens at Apple.
