If Apple can maintain its margins as it starts to build more of its products in the US — and presumably pay more income taxes in the process — it’ll be amazing. But it won’t be the first time I’ll be amazed. :’)

You are aware that Apple is the only major computer maker that makes any of its computers in the USA, aren't you? Were you also aware that Apple pays 2.5% of all US Corporate income taxes, with an effective tax rate in the last tax year of over 28%? These are facts, my FRiend.

Care to insert a link to those facts so we can all see them? Not that I doubt you but this whole Mac vs, PC thing has gone on as much as the Republicans vs, the Demodrats; Gators vs. Bulldogs; Notre Dame vs. USC; yadda, yadda, yadda.

I could really care less for any of it. I do my own research, buy the best possible product at the best possible price to perform the best possible service that I need.

Those who choose labels over anything else are just as hypocritical and misguided as those who chose the Golden Calf.

What percentage of total Apple production is in the US right now?

Yes. It was amazing that Apple got the build quality out of the same offshore manufacturing host countries that produced so much crap.
