    Oh oh, may have to dip into the executives' salary to make up for these tariffs. The horror.
    Then they’d get sued by the board and shareholders, because surely Apple could “maximize share holder value” by adding some extra “processing fees” to the end price of the machine, using “trade tariffs” as an excuse.

    I just read about the doomsday nuke that can hit the US in 30 minutes or less with devastating force that China will be showing off in its 70th anniversary military parade. They claim they are a peace loving nation.  You have to wonder why US manufacturers (hello Apple) continue to invest in a country that has developed a weapon specifically designed to inflict massive damage on the US? Apple should invest in super advanced robotic assembly so they can stop relying on cheap Chinese labor to build their products. That would scare the Chinese more than American weaponry.  


    China’s had nukes since 1964 and ICBMs since the mid-1970’s. The only thing that would make for a “doomsday” nuke is a large number of high-yield MIRVs like Russia’s Sarmat, but that’s nothing new. Their previous ICBMs were still gonna ruin your day, so not sure how this moves the needle for you.

    Honestly, I think the pricing already took into account the tariffs and the move to China and back simply intended to play on the POTUS.

    Long story short, small volumes will be manufactured in US and price will still be too high.

    US own the nuke first and already use twice. Not to mention, US has the most nukes and many ICBMs. Why the rest of the world want to do business with US?

    After the WW2, US and USSR and the rest of the world knows nuke is only expensive toy to show off. Any nation who use it first will just end itself and the rest of the world. 

    Maybe the Russian and Chinese has the fastest ICBM. But will it matter if US’s icbm reach them  15 minutes later? 

    But I agree, fuck Chicom and Putin.

    Hasn't Apple already decided to build it in the US? That would make all of those non US extra components less than 20% of the device? Considering the device is $6000 having roughly $250 in tariffs makes no significant difference.
    It's less profit for Apple unless they mark it up that much.  Either way, it's not much over the overall cost of the computer anyway.   After all the Monitor stan alone is a grand.

    Much of that stuff can be built in the USA or non China locations.  Apple needs to get out of China and aiding a government that will end up being a disaster for all of humanity.  
    Even Apple move out of China. Most Apple product will not make in US. Either Vietnam or other Asian country. The supply chain is just not in US. No one in US want to work a 12 hours shift and make only make $10. Not to mention who want to be fired when it is not in peak season? 

    Unless everyone in US want to pay extra 30% more for the same iPhone that make in US of A. if you check the assembly cost for iPhone, it is not even 15%. If it is make in US, expected 30% more.

    Russia currently has more nukes than the US.
