Episode notes
Apple started with Foxconn in China in the early days of the iPod, actually. And at the time they were building this, China was the place to do it because they had the technical ability and they were able to do it much more cheaply than you could manufacture in the US. Apple basically created a dog and pony show in Texas where it manufactured the parts of the Mac Pro. That's their highest end desktop computer. They built those parts in China and then did final assembly and packaging and testing on that very low quantity machine by a company called Flex in Texas.
