Cook said he's 'proud' to build the new MacPro in America at the highly anticipated new Austin campus, though he admitted it's unlikely iPhones ever will be produced in the U.S.
As Apple broke ground at its newest facility, in Texas, CEO Tim Cook said the company was proud to make its"most powerful computer ever" in the U.S., and opened up about having the president's ear and navigating business in China amid political tripwires and an ongoing trade war.
When asked why he still builds the iPhone in China, Cook said,"The way I think about it is, the iPhone is made everywhere." China is not just where the company produces its iPhones, it's a very lucrative market for the Cupertino, California-based tech company. China remains one of Apple's most important markets, with approximately 20% of the company's sales now coming from China. The National Basketball Association's recent saga highlighted how the politics of the country, however, have become increasingly difficult to navigate."China really hasn't pressured us, and so I I don't envision that," he added.
Cook said they have never been asked in China by authorities to unlock an iPhone, but added, referring to the U.S.,"I have here." Back stateside, as impeachment hearings cast uncertainty, Cook said he's focused on"policies and not politics" has"full faith" in the American system.One of those focuses is DACA recipients. Cook took a rare public stand in October, on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
