The comments on this link are interesting. One person said custom ordered MACs are assembled in the US. Another person commented that when Tim Cook was COO of Apple, he started the push to manufacture more of the Apple products outside the US.

I hope they can build some machines here in the US. However, I am afraid the Democrats will make them sorry they ever tried.

The natural (and/or man-made) disasters in Asia over the last several years have underscored the dangers of relying on single geographic location for manufacturing. Even if it is less cost-efficient shift some production back to the US, it generates goodwill and minimizes the geographic risk.

LMAO! So the cost of Apple products will increase (unions) while the average household’s discretionary budget decreases.

I’m not all for the idea of “slave labor” in China, but I think we can all guess how this is going to end up.

I will be real surprised if Apple assembles in California.

Texas would be my guess. They’ll need to go to a right to work state which is odd considering the left wing nut job politics of Apple execs.

Apple would not reveal where exactly the Macs will be manufactured."""""""........

In RIGHT TO WORK states only, and the ones that have OPTED out of Obamacare Exchanges, that alone should be their motivating factor in choosing a site.

Time to sell Apple stock. USA thug unions and Obama will bleed the company to death.

Good news, but isn’t the Mac probably a declining portion of their business?
