This is what I want to see. I really think the reliance on Asia as a centre for manufacturing is a mistake in the long run.

better than nothing, but most of the components will still be produced in China, Mac will be merely assembled in US factories.

That's not what Cook said; he said they want to do something "more substantial" than assembly.

You don't start an application by having a finished product on the first day. Let Apple run with this, and we can check in in a year and see where they intend to take this. It's premature for us to glean anything off of this right now.
