I think they will be making product chasis and frames in the USA. Think about it.. If suddenly there was another uprising at some contractor in China they would not be making Apple products, they would be making commodity parts like motherboards and memory that are simply components. People would identify their Mac mini or iMac as being made in the USA and some parts from China in it.

Also there probably is not much savings going on by making these parts in China. The expensive part would be if you were making your own motherboards and chips in the USA. Apple does not need to do it, and gets good PR in the process.

Apple already sources the A5, A5X, & A6 chips from a Samsung factory in Austin, Texas.
