Report: Apple to Move Mac Mini Production to United States

A few weeks back, Apple's Tim Cook made headlines when he talked about making Macs in the United States. Traditionally put together in China, where labor is cheap, a select number of people that purchased a 2012 iMac were surprised to see their computer had been 'Assembled in the USA.' Tim Cook later confirmed that yes, Apple did have plans to manufacture one of its lines in the U.S. in 2013.

What's not mentioned is which of Foxconn's 15 U.S. operating bases will be churning out these Mac minis. Regardless, the fact that the computers are being made in the USA is likely to give Apple reputation a bit of boost.

    Nice. Very nice. I'd like to see Dell and some other big manufacturers follow suite. Hate Apple all you want but at least they're doing something...and something is more than a lot of other large OEMs are doing.

    ^This is not the appropriate place for that. Folks are sensitive given all the sales-spam that is seen around these parts.

    I dislike Apple, but this is a step in the right direction. Getting tired of seeing nearly everything made in China or some other useless country.

    ^ I doubt pricing will change. They're not gonna forsake ANY sales to bring assembly back home I'd think.

    they should move iphone production to the US. Mac Mini is probably the least popular product from Apple. This looks more a publicity stunt.
