New MacPro to be made in the USA?

[Craig Shields]

I don’t know how they are able to do it, but I think this is awesome.

[Tim Wilson]

They used to do all their manufacturing in the US. My father ran their facility outside Dallas.

It’s complete supposition, but in a way it makes sense. If Apple plans to manufacture an entire line of Apple machines here, it might be the best test of the idea to start with a high margin, low volume product.

That’s the MacPro to a “T”.

[David Cherniack]

Maybe not. Apple’s shares dropped $35 billion yesterday on the news that China Telecom selected Nokia.

Do I sense totem shrinkage?

And they said a select Mac line…not MacPro.

He said ” A project where we do A Mac in the United States next year” not some Macs, there’s every chance it could be the Mac Pro and it would certainly explain the delay

Man, you have some wishful thinking.

Not really, I live in the UK so I don’t really care where they are made. It just seems to make sense that they would start with the Mac Pro.

Why don’t you think it would?

Exactly my thinking when I read that. Because Tim Cook said manufactured, not assembled. Some iMacs are assembled but their volumes are likely too high to take on the risk of exclusive manufacturing of the iMac line in the USA. The Mac Pro or whatever it is has low enough volumes to make it physically possible and high enough margins to make it fiscally responsible. But please Tim, not too high!

You assume they are working on a new MacPro. I doubt they are. They mentioned a new “desktop” they are working on, but I don’t think it will be a MacPro. They are moving away from that arena.
