And so it's nearly here, crunch-time. Remember all those capitalist drones & globalisation freaks who so very recently said that an iPhone/Apple product made in America would be 10 times more expensive than a Chinese made one? Remember the "facts" of $5,000 & $10,000 that these Reaganites, Sakozians, Thatcherites puked out?

The jury is very nearly in mes amis.

I see your point, but Apple is a brand associated with quality build and design.

As far as the automotive industry, look at Toyota, they were on top of the world and then wham, they had all kinds of issues with their vehicles which lead to a PR disaster.

I am excited about this news. Apple will start off small and as they figure things out, we'll see more and more products made here.

Apple will creater more and more jobs and hopefully it will be a win-win situation for everyone....then we'll hopefully see other companies follow suit.

My money is on it being the MacPro. Even if not a hugely profitable section of the pie, I think it's presence as a goodwill gesture to pro users outweighs the costs.

"The sell off that's going on" has only lasted a few days.
This change in major manufacturing is something that gets planned for years.

With the "Made in USA" markings on new iMacs, it's kinda hard to keep the development completely secret any more.

A "few days" ? lol check the price again

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. I like this sell off because it means Apple's stock is available to buy at a good discount.
