07 December 2012, Apple CEO, Tim Cook, revealed that some computer manufacturing will be brought back to the United States.
However, the actual assembly of a specific line of Macs will still be contracted out. Cook says they’re still figuring out where in the U.S. to assemble the computers.
Analysts say the move amounts to about a $100 million USD investment into the U.S. economy, which is tiny when you realize Apple has at least $1 billion in cash and other investments. So, don’t expect this insourcing of a new Mac to be the cure all for the U.S. unemployment blues.
