The woman in the pink smock-like clothing:

In the video there are Chinese characters on the clothing above the front pocket area. In a picture of her later on in the news article the Chinese writing is gone.

Has it been photoshopped out for the press release images?

That's wild that Apple, the ultimate tech image company, left that in there considering this is whole thing is all lip service and PR anyway, not a real change in the global manufacturing mix. Their entire campaign lost all credibility for me in a matter of seconds. I'm not even an Apple hater, I like my Apple products.

It says 富士康科技, Foxconn Tech

Foxconn is a Taiwanese company that assembles iPhones. It's leadership used to be close to KMT that wants to be friends with China.

I noticed the same thing. I'm assuming they forgot to photoshop out the chinese characters.

The video is obviously not from the American Manufacturing Center. The article says production hasn't started. It probably looks more like a construction zone right now.

I don't see her later on in the news article - just in the video. Did Apple remove the picture after you pointed it out?

The still photo (with 富士康科技 photoshopped out) is the second image of the "In Houston, workers assemble advanced AI servers" photo carousel https://www.apple.com/newsroom/images/2026/02/apple-accelera...
