Definition: Apple in China
A New York Times best-selling book by Patrick McGee is a fascinating account of Apple's manufacturing processes in China. Not only does it detail how Apple was able to mass produce so much product so fast, but it portrays a country growing faster than any other on earth. Although the iPhone was an outstanding success in the U.S., very few Americans realized how popular it was in China and especially what it took to create the infrastructure capable of manufacturing millions of devices from scratch.
Apple Helped China Rise
Released in 2025, the book covers not only what it took to make billions of Apple devices, but how much Apple helped China become a technology powerhouse. China was changing fast and Apple can be credited with much of that change in a country with a very different culture than the West.
