Wow, this is an interesting list! I picked one of the 3M addresses at random (the one in Medina, Ohio), and 3M has a web site listing the categories of stuff produced there: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/plant-locations-us/medina/ https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/plant-locations-us/medina/ (It would be cool if each supplier was required to post this sort of info, to really get a feel for how much physical plant it takes to make/build/assemble certain things.) So I'm guessing that each address on the list is an address that either ships parts to Apple (or to an Apple rep or manufacturer, like Foxconn), or is an address that receives stuff on behalf of Apple (for example, to do assembly). That would also be an awesome visualization: A map showing things moving from supplier to sub-assembler to assembler to distributor to store to customer.
