Apple has actually transferred MacBook, Apple Watch, iPad, and AirPods to northern Vietnam in the past few years.

However, industry insiders have revealed that as human demand surges, many suppliers are now facing labor shortages in Vietnam, especially those who are not skilled and engineers.The rise in labor, land and production costs in Vietnam has prompted some suppliers to move south to explore to set up factories in central Vietnam and even in Thailand.

However, Han Eddie, a senior analyst of Isaaiah Research, believes that it will not be as much as companies moving to Thailand as much as to Vietnam.

Han Eddie told Nikkei Asia: "I know that some suppliers are discussing the establishment of the MacBook production line in Thailand with Apple, but it seems that Apple is not too keen on this idea ... Vietnam is still closer to China geographically, and it is more geographically, and it is more geographically, and it is more geographically, and it is more geographically in China, and it is more geographically, and it is more geographically, and it is more geographically in China, and it is more geographically, and it is more geographically in China, and it is more geographically, and it is more geographically in China, and it is more geographically, and it is more geographically in China, and it is more geographically.There are more free trade agreements than Thailand.
