Apple CEO Tim Cook sat down for a rare public interview yesterday, talking with Recode Executive Editor Kara Swisher and MSNBC’s Chris Hayes for a town-hall-like public forum at a Chicago public high school. Pressed on domestic manufacturing of Apple’s top product, Cook explained that “it’s not true” that iPhones aren’t built in the U.S. Yes, the units are assembled in China, but the iPhone’s display glass comes from Kentucky, the FaceID module on the iPhone X is built in Texas, and plants are going up around the country. “Revolution: Apple Changing the World” is scheduled to premiere on MSNBC next Friday, April 6, at 8 pm ET, 5 pm PT.
