iPhone & Mac tariff reprieve only temporary
How can factory owners decide to buy new equipment with all these constant changes to policy? How can small business owners decide to hire additional workers with all of these constant changes to policy? How can workers decide to change jobs with all of these constant changes to policy? How can parents of children approaching college-age make decisions about their 529 college savings plans with all of these constant changes to policy? How can people approaching retirement age make decisions about whether to move from the equities market to the fixed-income market with all of these constant changes to policy? How can anybody do anything with all of this insanity?!? -
Trump's belief that iPhone manufacturing could quickly move to the US is wrong
Stabitha_Christie said:“The army of millions and millions of people screwing in little, little screws to make iPhones, that kind of thing is going to come to America" -Howard Lutnick
So, if there was any question about if the Trump administration knows what it is doing, there it is. Not an f--ing clue. The cult will still carry water for Dear Leader because the cult has gotta cult.Fast forward to 5 minutes ago when I finally saw a clip of that quote. Saw a clip where that quote came out of Lutnick’s mouth verbatim. I thought… I thought you were joking. I legitimately thought you were joking. But it was real. It was 100% real. And now I feel like an absolute idiot for assuming that stupid quote was a joke. Lord, help us all. I’m trapped in the stupidest timeline possible and I can’t escape. -
AAPL crumble: stock hit again, as White House clarifies 145% China tariff rate
bobroo said:I'm certain it works out like this:
Trump recinds his 145% tax on Americans for buying Chinese goods because too many Americans don't like paying 145% more for a shopping cart of goods from Costco, Target, Walmart, or Amazon.
President Xi doesn't budge and China doesn't buy as many American made goods ever again.
China will win the battle and show the world that there is a new world powerhouse in control.
If Trump removed the American tariffs, Xi would remove the Chinese tariffs as well. Xi doesn’t want to more than double the prices of American goods for Chinese consumers (if he doesn’t have to in order to retaliate against Trump tariffs). Especially since many of the American goods that Chinese consumers buy are food products.
This tariff war isn’t good for any country (America included, China included). The world is just waiting for one man to realize that. -
A flood of panic-buying has started in anticipation of major iPhone price increases
9secondkox2 said:So apple benefits from the panic buy now. Then when September hits and things have cooled a bit, apple benefits again from upgraders? Highly possible. Be interesting to revisit in 5 months. -
Trump blinks: Floats suggestion that Apple might get a tariff exemption
twolf2919 said:You might want to consider reading what you previously wrote :-)"but now, that may not have been necessary. Exemptions may not occur, and anything could happen or change at a moment's notice, so Apple may continue shipping iPhones in massive quantities to stockpile during the 90-day reprieve."
As you wrote yourself earlier in the piece, China is not part of the 90-day reprieve, so unless Trump specificially excludes Apple, Apple doesn't have 90 days to stockpile. -

AAPL crumble: stock hit again, as White House clarifies 145% China tariff rate
spunkmeyer said:The tariffs, threatened or implemented, have managed to destroy a lot of goodwill around the world for the United States for decades. This will directly affect people's decision to purchase products for US companies. It's already happened in Canada and has been well-covered by the media.
Manufacturing origin is one issue; the other is the conscious boycott of Apple products in other countries as a statement of dissatisfaction.
It’s undetermined if the tariffs have done damage “for decades” (because it’ll take decades for us to know if that is so). It has done some damage for the past few weeks though. That much we can definitely say.
