In a back stage interview with ABC News' David Muir, Apple CEO Tim Cook discussed the newly announced Apple Watch, iPhone 6, Apple Pay, security, and 'Made in America'.

Cook noted that the parts, equipment and material from the Apple Watch and the iPhone 6 / 6 Plus will be made in 22 out of the 50 United States.

Apple has been criticized for outsourcing its production of its products to China, but has recently started manufacturing more and more in America with products like the Mac Pro.

The full interview featuring Tim Cook and Jony Ive has not been posted yet, but we'll ket you know when it hits the web. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.

Nice try. Some parts will be made here but then they're all shipped off to China to be assembled and sent back.

Keep attempting to believe that. Some part will be shipped almost anywhere and be made there plain and simple.

Much better every 6 months than no job at all... it is not Apples fault, talk with the government why they allow that. If there were laws against it, that wouldn't happen.

Now that's a really good thing. I wonder how Samsung compares??

Yeah after all the rushing and showing off how they thought it could be better than past watches.
