There are a handful of companies that do this work, they will partner with them, my bet is Foxconn as they already work with them. Build a facility and Foxconn will do what it does, with Americans in America. As an American, I think this is good, I wonder how successful it will be but I hope it works out well.
There are a lot of negative comments. From what Tim said it sounds like it is motivated by a desire to do some good, not just more profit. Maybe that is BS, if you can successfully do this, it knocks a few days off the time from order to delivery and that's also a huge edge. I can also see wanting to not give China so much control. I don't see it being devious though.
Sanmina (recently dropped the SCI from its name) still owns that plant in Fountain, CO. I could imagine it might be a big PR win for Apple if they revived what used to be their flagship factory in the US.
