Apple is going into a new direction with the GT Advanced Technologies plant in Mesa . Apple now plans a Data Center at the facility. This will bring 15o jobs to Mesa. This project will be a huge investment for Apple. They plan on powering it with renewable energy.

The relationship ran into trouble when it became clear that GT Advanced Technologies Inc could not produce the screens at the speed and quantity Apple wanted, and later filed for bankruptcy. Apple
