Mac mini rumored to be assembled in USA next year
December 27th 2012
The always delightful DigiTimes is reporting Apple's Mac mini production is expected to move to the United States in 2013. The rumor coincided with recent comments from Apple CEO Tim Cook saying a Mac line would be switching to domestic production next year. Apple is already producing some iMacs within the U.S., so Apple's overall plans aren't clear.
Production is expected to be handled by existing manufacturing partners Foxconn and/or Quanta. Quanta has facilities in California and Tennessee, while Foxconn has several and is looking to expand.
Apple's other major OEM partner Quanta Computer also has two operating bases in the US, located in Fremont, California and Nashville, Tennessee.
