They could even fly in a few ton of those screws or ship them. In the mean time they could redesign the Mac Pro so they could use custom built American screws. But Tim Cook is the logistics expert here.After 6 years, a major redesign is delayed due to screws?
What a pathetic lame excuse.
It clearly shows that Apple does NOT care about the Pro community whatsoever.
Imagine if they come in and next September they announce that the next iPhone 11 is delayed due to screws...

I totally agree with you. But I don’t understand why they can’t make more automated robotic lines. China got big by it’s cheap hard working workers. Now China is investing into the future by creating robotic workers that will slowly overtake the human workers. USA and Europe should invest in that next gen too or we will become the cheap labor workers of China in the not so distant future.America needs to get over this delusional idea that they can compete with China in manufacturing.
At Foxconn, they hire 450,000 workers during peek iPhone production. A solid third of them sleep in dorms on campus. They work six days a week and 12 hours a day. They get paid about a grand a month.
There is no place in America where you could even find 450,000 skilled workers. And even if you could, they would not work in any manner that even comes close to these hours or wages.
The sheer number of skilled people China can put on a project to produce something as simple as as screw or as complex as an iPhone in mind-blowing. If we made iPhones in America, they would cost $8,000 and there would be a two year waiting list for them.
None of this is an attack on America. But we have to understand that there are certain things we should not try to compete in. After all we do not want to create jobs like this in America.
