What balderdash. The tariff incentivized Apple to make them here. The opposite of the titles inference.

Apple has been manufacturing MacPro in Austin Texas since 2013. Nothing to do with tariffs, The tariff exemptions are for those few parts included in the new MacPro that still come from China. The old MacPro had fewer than 10% imported parts. I don’t know what percentage of the new MacPro is made with imported components.

Define few. I applaud the manufacturing here but Apple HAS A LONG WAY TO GO. Bring it all home. Make iphones here. Do it. Take down the suicide nets.
