I doubt it's because of that. Without giving any thought into it, I think they just switched the "China" in "Assembled in China" to USA.
I wonder where their factory is.
I just checked my 2009 20" iMac and it too has the Assembled in USA stamp on it. The only thing BTO in it is the hard drive option but really, with the limited options, is any iMac really BTO?
IT'S IN MY PANTS!

They're assembled by the Senior Execs in their spare time, right at HQ.
If it's the same quality of spelling, I sure hope not!so would the quality be any beter?
Not that Apple needs any publicity, but could you imagine if they announced that they were shifting just some of their production to the United States.

I know Macs were at one point assembled in Fremont, CA, but I'm not sure if they still operate that facility.
The good ol' days..when Macs were made in this country.

Wow, I wonder how widespread this is. This is great news, great to see Apple bringing back some manufacturing domestically. I wonder where their factory is.

Swedish imac, if anyone noticed...
Would love to see more of this. Better yet, how about some components of the iPhone being made here... One can dream.
To use that legally all the need to do is have someone tighten a screw when it arrives from china,
A product that includes foreign components may be called Assembled in USA without qualification when its principal assembly takes place in the U.S. and the assembly is substantial. For the assembly claim to be valid, the products last substantial transformation also should have occurred in the U.S. Thats why a screwdriver assembly in the U.S. of foreign components into a final product at the end of the manufacturing process doesnt usually qualify for the Assembled in USA claim.
Example: A lawn mower, composed of all domestic parts except for the cable sheathing, flywheel, wheel rims and air filter (15 to 20 percent foreign content) is assembled in the U.S. An Assembled in USA claim is appropriate.
Example: All the major components of a computer, including the motherboard and hard drive, are imported. The computers components then are put together in a simple screwdriver operation in the U.S., are not substantially transformed under the Customs Standard, and must be marked with a foreign country of origin. An Assembled in U.S. claim without further qualification is deceptive.
