On May 9, it was reported by the Japanese Economic News that Apple would produce millions of popular AirPods wireless Bluetooth headsets in Vietnam this quarter. The report quoted a source "familiar with the situation" as saying that the number of "classic AirPods" is between 3 million and 4 million, that is, 30% of them will be produced in Vietnam.

At present, Apple has not transferred its high-end AirPods Pro production line to Vietnam. The AirPods Pro released last October supports the noise reduction function to prevent external noise from affecting the normal use of the headset. When users need to know about the surrounding situation, they can switch to the transparent mode.

The "classic AirPods" with a charging box costs 1246 yuan, and the wireless charging box costs 1558 yuan. A source in the Japanese Economic News said: "Vietnam started mass production of AirPods as early as March, and Vietnamese authorities even issued special licenses for Apple's AirPods agents to help them send engineers to Vietnam during the epidemic blockade, so as to ensure smooth mass production."

An executive of a supply chain manufacturer said: "It is an irreversible trend that large US technology companies need to gradually find production bases outside China."

Readers may be worried about the future of domestic manufacturing industry. Although some low-end OEM production lines have been transferred to other countries, some industries are also developing. For example, Samsung's Xi'an Phase II First Stage Project was put into production in March this year, mainly producing the fifth generation 96 layer 3D V-NAND chips.
