“Late last year, Apple boss Tim Cook said in an interview that the tech giant intended to bring some manufacturing jobs back to the US in 2013 with the opening of a production facility for a line of Mac computers,” Trevor Mogg reports for Digital Trends.
“Since then, Cook has given few details of the project, although in an interview with Politico this week prior to his appearance in front of a Senate committee regarding the company’s offshore cash pile, he confirmed that the computer set to roll off Apple’s first US-based production line in nearly 20 years will be a refreshed version of a current Mac product,” Mogg reports. “‘We’re going very deep in this project,’ Cook told Politico in the interview, which took place on Thursday.”
Mogg reports, “Interestingly, the Apple CEO added that not only will the computer be assembled on US soil, but also many of its components will be made in the US. States coming up with the goods include Arizona, Texas, Illinois, Florida and Kentucky, the report said.”
