Apple opened a sapphire plant in Arizona in 2012-2013, then closed it when the plant failed to manufacture to Apple's quality standards. They're converting it reportedly into a data center.
Foxconn, Apple's primary manufacturing partner in China, is opening factories in India. It looks like Apple's trying to diversify away from its dozen or so Chinese factories.
Apple's talked about bringing more manufacturing back to the U.S., but so far apparently has not done very much of that, perhaps waiting until after the elections to see what the political climate is like in 2017 and beyond.
