Your argument doesn't make sense. If Apple can go from long-turnaround for nearly all of their built-to-order sales (i.e. assembled in China) to long-turnaround for only 50% of their built-to-order sales (i.e. assembled in US), how is that not a win?

I would assume Europe shipping times would be more or less the same from China or US.

I guess I was over estimating the amount of sales happening in APAC.

Apple sells a decent amount of product such as the iPhone in APAC, but let's recall this facility assembles Mac Pros.
