Apple to produce line of Macs in the US next year

Posted: Updated:
NEW YORK -

Apple CEO Tim Cook says the company will move production of one of its existing lines of Mac computers to the United States next year.

Industry watchers said the announcement is both a cunning public-relations move and a harbinger of more manufacturing jobs moving back to the U.S. as wages rise in China.

Cook made the comments in part of an interview taped for NBC's "Rock Center".

In a separate interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, Cook said that the company will spend $100 million in 2013 to move production of the line to the U.S. from China.

The U.S. manufacturing line is expected to represent just a tiny piece of Apple's overall production, with sales of iPhones and iPads now dwarfing those of its computers.
