Maybe it'll bring chip prices down to Rest of the World™ to clear stock. Thanks Trump!
Nooe, they will just permanently raise prices everywhere and pocket bigger margins.
They aren't pocketing anything though
They are pocketing the higher margins in countries without the tariffs.
If a $500 item now sells for $700 in the US because of tariffs, they are not going to keep its price in europe at €500. It's also going to €700.
Does that always happen? I cant think of examples but yeah what you say makes sense
