Tech giant Foxconn creating 600 jobs with $450M Houston investment
Taiwan-based tech company Foxconn has acquired the Fairbanks Logistics Park, an industrial property situated on 100 acres in northwest Houston. The seller, Dalfen Industrial, announced in a news release on Thursday that the site includes four buildings totaling 1 million square feet of industrial space. Foxconn is reportedly investing $450 million in the property to build an AI server manufacturing facility, according to the Greater Houston Partnership, the largest chamber of commerce in the Houston area. The Fairbanks Logistics Park facility will create 600 direct jobs and have an estimated economic impact of $920 million. 'Foxconn Corp. is based in Taiwan and manufactures electronics for companies such as Apple,' the Greater Houston Partnership said in its New Business Announcements: Q1 2025. 'They are expanding production lines in North Houston to build an AI server.' Foxconn has not publicly commented on the facility in Houston. Dalfen Industrial, which acquired the Fairbanks Logistics Park for $90.6 million in July 2023, did not disclose the sale price to Foxconn. Ingrasys USA, a Foxconn subsidiary, acquired the property in March for $142 million, according to the Financial Times. 'This transaction marks a significant growth move for another Fortune 50 tech manufacturer entering the Houston market — joining the ranks of Apple and Nvidia, who have also announced major investments in the region,' Dalfen Industrial said in a statement. 'Together, these developments are helping to position the city as a growing hub for advanced manufacturing and AI infrastructure. Foxconn's purchase of the Fairbanks Logistics Park arrives in conjunction with Apple Inc. and Nvidia Corp. recently announcing new production facilities in the area. Foxconn supplies high-tech components for both firms. Apple plans to build a 250,000-square-foot server manufacturing facility scheduled to open in 2026. Tech firm Nvidia is building an AI supercomputer manufacturing facility in Houston, also expected to open in 2026.

iPhone 17 just tipped for a huge wireless charging upgrade
The next generation of Qi 2.2 wireless charging could be upon us soon, thanks to discovered regulatory filings on Taiwan's NCC certification site. This would update the Qi wireless charging standard, and we could see it on iPhone 17 models later this year. As spotted by the filings reveal two new MagSafe charger models (A3502 and A3502). Both models appear to support the new Qi 2.2. standard. Based on images in the filings, the models appear to be pretty standard white puck chargers with braided USB-C cables in 2 and 1-meter lengths. What's new with 2.2 is that the testing revealed it could support up to 50W charging output. For comparison, the Qi 2 standard tops out at 15W. Current iPhone 16 models do support upgraded MagSafe charging with a 30W charger, and can get up to 25W. The Qi 2.2. chargers double that. According to the testing documents, the new chargers were tested on devices as recent as the iPhone 16 and as old as the iPhone 11. Apple's MagSafe charging was first introduced with the iPhone 12 in 2020. It does indicate that Qi 2.2. chargers will have broad compatibility, obviously charging speeds will be limited on older devices. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Additionally, 2.2. comes with "improved magnetic alignment" natively, which means iPhones should snap on the charger faster and better. It's also supposed to be more efficient with no "unnecessary power loss or heat generation." While the iPhone 16 does not support Qi 2.1, it's likely that the forthcoming iPhone 17 models will support Qi 2.2. if testing is already being done well ahead of the usual September launch window.
