are Apple computers still made in the USA? I bought mine recently and (along with several other things I bought) they usually say designed in California made in China. My iMac was shipped in from Shanghai.

Susan had a good point about the quality of some good products made in China. They do have the expertise and are investing in it.

Also Smilingcat made a scary point.

I've also heard about companies who import all their parts and materials and only assemble/ finish in the US so they can label it 'made in the USA'.
