Trump's tariffs could drive up iPhone prices by about 10%

Unlike Canada, which as a "concession" just presented a plan that had already been in effect for months before Tr*mp took office, which Trump accepted knowing that his disciples would never bother to find out they were lied to (or wouldn't care), China really doesn't give a shit about making Tr*mp look good.
They're already laughing all the way to the bank:
Killing USAID has destroyed any good will and good standing the United States had in those many countries where it was active, leaving the door wide open for China to fill in the gap and deepen (trade) relations long-term.They're more than happy Tr*mp has killed diplomacy. -
Apple Maps paid search ads under consideration in monetization push

You, of all companies, are full-throttle on the path to enshitification of our digital lives?
(bad enough that I cannot fucking opt out of those ANNOYING "hey stupid! — upgrade to Sequoia NoW!" popups. I'm a grown man, I'm WELL aware of the first TWENTY NOTICES you've given me. At this point, I probably have a GOOD FUCKING REASON not to have upgraded yet. Leave me the fuck alone.) -

That's why the diplomatic community is resigned to treating him like a toddler with a gun. -
