After G20 Summit, Apple is moving manufacturing of RM25,000 Mac Pro to China
of sorts, with a few ramifications. Among others, the American president agreed to allow U.S. companies to continue to sell goods to Huawei—this must be a relief to the Chinese tech giants, with many component makers and, of course, Google prohibited from dealing with them.
But part of the resolution of China and the U.S.’s recent trade war also includes the U.S. holding off on threats to increase import tariffs on Chinese goods., which retails for US$5,999 , will be manufactured in China. This seems slightly contradictory given that statements in the past have championed the previous iteration of the powerhouse computer being manufactured in the U.S.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has also said that Apple was very proud of the fact that the previous generation Mac Pro was assembled in the U.S.. But Cook himself, prior to being appointed CEO, has been a key member in moving some of Apple’s manufacturing processes to China—production of the previous Mac Pro slowed in the U.S., with part of the reason being that Apple struggled to find suppliers for some of the parts needed.
But Apple put out a mitigating statement that the new Mac Pro will still have certain components made in the U.S., as “final assembly is only one part of the manufacturing process”.
