Apple taps Chinese contract manufacturer Luxshare, six other mainland suppliers in production of Vision Pro mixed-reality headset
- Luxshare has become the first mainland electronics contract manufacturer enlisted by Apple to build a ‘first-generation’ product, the Vision Pro
- Six other mainland companies, including audio components maker Goertek, are part of Apple’s Vision Pro supply chain
Apart from Luxshare, which is also known as Luxshare-ICT, the other major mainland suppliers for the Vision Pro include camera module maker Cowell E Holdings and Shenzhen Desay Battery Technology, which provides lithium batteries and power management systems, according to Wellsenn XR, which tracks the augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) sectors in China.
The participation of Luxshare and the other mainland Chinese firms in producing the Vision Pro headset reflects Apple’s fresh vote of confidence in the country’s vast electronics manufacturing supply network, despite geopolitical and economic developments that could potentially speed up global supply chain realignments.
Taiwanese companies, however, still accounted for most of the suppliers involved in the production of Apple’s Vision Pro headset.
