Are you opening a mega-factory in the US producing parts in volume required for assembly - like custom made and designed screws? Because that’s why the US made parts are being shipped to China for final assembly - there are no such factories in the US.

Yet another reason for me to avoid Apple products like the plague.

From reading the article, it sounds like it’s an expensive desktop computer that has very little market share. Article also talks about how when it was being made in the US, employees were “contract employees” who worked for minimum wage and would leave their shifts even if production was still in progress.

I don’t see this move as a big deal, other than perhaps leaving a negative impression about the company in the US.

I am not sure why everyone is taking this as something Apple “wanted” or “chose” to do.

There can’t be any real justification for this decision at this time other than arm-twisting by stinking China. China has Apple by the short-hairs with the production they already control.

This is how China operates. They have to have it all. It seems to escape everyone that China is not correcting its transgressions, but is, instead, becoming increasingly belligerent.

Just my opinion, but this will be a low production product—no where close to the Mac Books or iPhones.

I’m a exclusize Mac user and the Mac community are in meltdown mose over the price, so not many users of these devices at all.
