Now that you mention it, the hardhat on the lady’s head also looks photoshopped when you zoom in ?
Did you skip over the part where apple have been building mac pros there since 2013?!
more specifically the last country a product was assembled in before completion slaps the “made in” badge on it
As a professional who wears a hardhat at work everyday, I can tell you no, that hardhat and that fit won’t protect him from anything.
not just electronic.. it is cheaper to buy rather then manufacturer even in asean country.So most will do re-packaging ..
"Cook added that "in terms of the Hong Kong situation, I hope and pray for everyone's safety," and "more broadly I pray for dialogue, because I think that good people coming together can decide ways forward.""
This is blatant and dangerous ignorance. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has blatantly violated the handover treaty. The Hong Kong authorities have been corrupted by the CCP and are now seen as a puppet.
The CCP will never implement 2 systems 1 country because they know communism falls without authoritarianism - this is why the CCP cannot let a democratic system stand in Hong Kong. Crushing democracy in Hong Kong is a blatant admission that communism is the failed system. Dialog will never take place because the CCP cannot allow it.
There is no possible path forward while the CCP continues to willfully operate with blatant lawlessness.
Timmy the Crook and other people in such positions are enabling the CCP to continue its despicable behavior.
A famous quote almost applies here: "what we must fear most is the indifference of good men."
I say almost because Timmy should know better, but because Timmy hasn't taken the correct position about this issue, I cannot consider him a good man. He is a CCP puppet.

I just want to know how can I get my hands on the Apple Hard Hat Pro?
Yeah, many of the inexpensive passive components are made in China (though some others are likely made in Japan). Most of the high value components are not. For example, the $3000 CPU used in the Mac Pro is made in the US.
Sickening when companies suck up to evil just for business. Be it China or the potato.
cook didn’t even bother to correct Trump when he took credit and claimed today was a good day when that factory didn’t even open just yesterday!

Keep your eyes on the prize. If you can get the tariffs waived, what’s a little Apple polishing?
Apple had announced they were stopping Mac Pro production at this plant.
When the latest Mac Pro was announced, it was to be produced in China.
Only after working a deal with Trump over some tariff waivers, did Cook announce that Mac Pros were going to be made in Texas again.
I have a 12-core 2013 built in Texas. An amazing machine, super quiet in the studio, and very subtly smells exactly like mouth watering BBQ.
Ahhhhh all this talk about “shipping to the Americas” is making me really f****ng nervous over here in Europe!! I hope there’s another factory or that this is just to please trumps tiny ego.
I didn’t read the transcript or watch the interview, but I really hope he didn’t say “silicone” instead of “silicon”.
If you were to take apart the iPhone you would see many of the silicone components that are made in the United States as well," he added.
We‘ll have to take his word for it, because most people can no longer take their Apple devices apart anymore. The days of repairable are over.

No Apple product says it's made in China. It says "Assembled in China" because most of the components like the CPU, the glass of the screen, the SSD, the camera module, the accelerometer, and the RAM are usually made in countries like Germany, Japan, Korea, and the U.S. then shipped to China for final assembly, which means most of the value of an iPhone isn't actually from China. The parts actually produced in China is usually only the chassis, battery, and some antenna modules.
I don't disagree with you about the livable wage, but I have to point out the workers in China are not trying to earn a wage to live in the U.S. Their wage is more than sufficient for living in China, where cost of living is much lower, especially for spending in rural areas.
Thank god we have Chinese communist slave labor to keep the price low. Zero tax deal in exchange for helping the totalitarian regime round up people who “think different” helps too.
Isn't that an existing plant that makes Macs since 2013? Am I missing something?
Lol really? Never would have thought that cost of living in third world conditions and slave labor camps is much lower... maybe that’s a model we should import to western countries?
