Apple is expediting the automation of its supply chain, mandating that suppliers adopt automated robotics technology as a prerequisite for securing manufacturing contracts. This initiative aims to diminish reliance on human labor, enhance product quality consistency, and mitigate long-term costs. Rather than funding the upgrade of equipment, Apple now necessitates suppliers to shoulder the expenses of automation investments, which is placing profit pressures on some suppliers. Despite this, Apple remains committed to supporting suppliers' environmental enhancements to assist in achieving the objective of carbon neutrality across the supply chain by 2030.
