Tim Cook; CEO of Apple stated that their target is in assembling Mac Pro 2019 in US. It will be same as what they previously done with high end desktop’s trash can design. Apple described assembly in US and done a video to promote it even though the Company has not mentioned to have similar plans for this Mac Pro, which published in June.
They requested from US government’s tariff for an exclusion as a benefit when import products from China. If it’s unsuccessful, they might have an extra fee for those assembly parts. This will lead to become impossible for the total plan.
Furthermore, Cook highlighted the reason behind in requesting for exclusion. As they make Mac Pro in US and they have plans to carry out it further. For that they work and invest for a high capacity. Apple has high intension to carry out this process in US. That’s all behind their requests and they expect for a favorable feedback soon.
Unfortunately, the request for exclusion has been denied by president Trump. But Cook hopes for a decision which is beneficial for them and US job holders. Also, Apple has requested the exclusion especially for specific parts, which highlights the intention of the company for US, based assembly.
As per Wall Street Journal, there is a possibility to move to China for the production of Mac Pro. Apple still did not refuse this claim. So, there is a possibility for both options. There can be start up by installing a new machine in China at the start of production before they shifted to US. New Pro Mac has scheduled to start soon; the exact date has not been published by Apple.
