Credit: Reuters/Stephen Lam Thu Dec 6, 2012 9:08am EST (Reuters) - Apple Inc is planning to bring back some of its production of Mac computers to the United States from China next year, Chief Executive Tim Cook said, according to a report published Thursday. The company will spend more than $100 million to build the computers in the United States, Cook was cited as saying in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek. "This doesn't mean that Apple will do it ourselves, but we'll be working with people and we'll be investing our money," Cook said. He told NBC in an interview to be aired late Thursday that only one of the existing Mac lines would be manufactured exclusively in the United States. Higher-tech products are largely made overseas, often in subcontracted factories not owned by the brands whose products they are making. Cheaper labor costs have been key in encouraging U.S. manufacturers to have move production to China, but with Chinese wage and transport costs increasing, the advantage against the U.S. has narrowed in recent years.
