Most every product sold by Apple is made in China. Not sure about Mac Pros. My 2006 Mac Pro was apparently made in California, but that's nearly five years ago.

My newer Mac Pro was made in China.

I can remember when Apple had a large factory in the suburbs of Dallas. I got to know several of the workers there, they loved their jobs, when they weren't working they were unpaid Apple evangelists.

Most of those workers were probably promoted to the ever-expanding fast food industry.

All original iPhone's, iPods etc say that on them.

Possibly some fakes do too.

Not a lot that isn't assembled in China these days - notice it doesn't say assembled by XXXXXXX in China.
