Apple Inc. will manufacture its new Mac Pro computer in China, moving production of what had been its only major device assembled in the U.S., according to a person familiar with the company’s plans.
The company will use Quanta Computer Inc. to make the $6,000 desktop computer and is ramping up production at a factory near Shanghai, according to the person, who asked not to be identified speaking about Apple’s decision-making. The Wall Street Journal earlier Friday reported the manufacturing move.
