Apple CEO Tim Cook says Mac production will begin in the U.S.
Apple will begin manufacturing one of its existing Mac lines in the United States next year, CEO Tim Cook told several news organizations—a move that may address fierce criticism over the company’s overseas manufacturing processes.
Cook made the announcement in interviews with NBC’s Brian Williams and with Bloomberg Businessweek. Further details about which line or how many jobs would be created weren’t immediately available. (The video from NBC can be seen at the bottom of this story.)
“Next year we’re going to bring some production to the U.S.,” Cook told Bloomberg Businessweek. “This doesn’t mean that Apple will do it ourselves, but we’ll be working with people and we’ll be investing our money.”
That indicates that Apple will still outsource production of the Mac line—but to a company inside the United States, instead of outside manufacturers like China-based Foxconn, which builds the company’s iPhones and iPads for sale back in the United States and around the world.
