Why didn't MR report that story, when 9to5Mac did?
needless to say it will be the MacPro in a super slim design
Would the Mac Pro make sense as a line to be made in the US? It is a fairly small line by units, it is the "big boy" so good for national pride, and it is probably one of the easier to manufacture.
Americans, would you be more inclined to "go pro" if it were made in America?
abomination.
Some of the sell off is due to the impending fiscal cliff and the increase in taxes on investment income as a result of the ACA.
It would have to be a smaller scale product, if it were exclusively manufactured in the US, so I'm guessing Mac Pro.
Some federal agencies require hardware to be manufactured in the US for security reasons (I don't know which specifically).
Cisco has a manufacturing (well, assembly) facility in the US just for this purpose; I think it is in Texas.
Excellent news.
I do however, take this with a grain of salt. This is production of a product line that is in decline after all. That is, a decline in the overall desktop and notebook market despite the success of the Mac. I will be far more impressed if Apple were to bring iOS device production back to the US.
Has anyone seen the full interview Video?
I applaud the effort. To be honest, I feel that $100m is a drop in the bucket, but here's to hoping that number increases over time and creates even more jobs.
