> The only way I can see this making sense is if it is an assembly plant rather than a real chips-to-finished-product factory.
Quote from the interview:
And next year we are going to bring some production to the U.S. on the Mac. We’ve been working on this for a long time, and we were getting closer to it.
It will happen in 2013. We’re really proud of it. We could have quickly maybe done just assembly, but it’s broader because we wanted to do something more substantial.
Note: more than just assembly. This doesn't mean everything is going to be made on one place, but it does mean more than just slapping a case on.
