Once again. Companies do NOT pay tariffs. They pass on those costs of those tariffs to their customers. YOU are gonna pay that extra 25% not Apple.

It's coming true.

And again "tariff must be paid by Apple" really shows that he still has no idea how they work.

This isn't about making Apple make iPhones in the US. This is a 25% tax on everyday Americans that the fascists will blame on Apple for not making iPhones in the US and use to give tax breaks to the rich. Trump and his cabal are reverse Robin Hooding the American people and 70 million of them are lining up to lick his boots for it.

I wonder if he knows apple simply can not comply with this. Apple doesn't know how to make iPhones (at the scale and rate needed) and no one in the US does either.

RIP

The Art of Extortion.

He still has absolutely no clue how tariffs work. Amazing for someone who throws them left and right without thinking. Although the latter might explain it.

Step 1. Add Tarrifs.

Step 2. Wait till the share price falls.

Step 3. Buy in low.

Step 4. Lift the tariffs again.

Step 5. Wait till the share price rises.

Step 6. Profit.

This is what you get for bending down to the tyrant in inauguration day. You cant appease tyrants, you must fight them.

iPhones not iPhone's... Who let this idiot be in charge of anybody? Did he even go to school?

Good fuck apple they probably donated to trump

What about the components? Should they also be produced in the US?

Let’s be clear, producing the iPhone in the US would be more than a 25% cost increase.

An extra 25% must be paid by consumers. Like every other tariff. New taxes be like that.

Such smol govment

Selling iPhones made outside US: bad

Selling MAGA hats and swag made in China: art of the deal

Well, technically, any kind of tariff added to the import is always paid by Apple, who else would pay it? Some unrelated company? A foreign country?

They will simply increase the price by an amount that will keep them making the same amount of money. The main problem is that because they like to do a round price worldwide, we European we'll pay more too, so they can make more money. Assholes

This past Monday, John Stewart of The Daily Show interviewed Patrick Mcgee who discussed the jaw-dropping amounts of money Apple spent building out Chinese electronics supply chains which had deep implications. -It made for an interesting case if true.

It is paid by consumers, not Apple. Other phone companies will raise prices as well to increase their profits, since iPhone prices will set a new high price. When Apple prices goes up 25% other phone companies can increase their prices by 15% and still be competitive to apple.

Actually to make same profit due to lower phone sales Apple may have to raise price even higher than 25% or find other ways to get consumers to pay more. Die hard fans of Apple will buy, whatever the price.

It would take MINIMUM 10 years to even come close to like 60% manufactured in US. And that’s assuming the US upends the entire global tech industry by coming even kind of close to TSMC’s chip manufacturing tech.

Did trump just confuse a possessive s for a plural s?

Failed business man telling people how to run their businesses. I’ve got an idea about how to make American manufacturing cheaper universal healthcare.

What a fucking idiot
