Apple Mac Pro Passes US FCC Test; Release Date Expected Soon

Apple Mac Pro Manufacturing

The Apple Mac Pro FCC certification shows some sketches of the device, which is an upgrade of the Mac Pro launched in 2017. The FCC certification also shows the 'Assembled in China' sticker. The previous Apple Mac Pro was assembled at the Apple facility in Austin, Texas that came with the 'Assembled in the USA' mark.

The new Apple Mac Pro could possibly split the manufacturing process between China and the US. Earlier in July, Apple showed its interest in continuing the manufacturing process in the US. However, due to various reasons like the US government's denial of tax exemption, the plan was put on hold.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has emphasized that it wishes to keep the new Mac Pro manufacturing in the US. Speaking at the Q3 announcements, Cook said that the company was "very excited about the upcoming launch of our newly redesigned Mac Pro this fall, which we are proud to be manufacturing in Austin, Texas."
