No problem, just add 25% to the price in the USA and let customers know why. The Orange one will soon back track.

And get richer cause he bought Apple stocks.

Is it even legal to tariff a specific company? 

We're beyond that. Harvard, Apple, a free 747-8, deporting US citizens, using the South Lawn as a dealer lot for Tesla, forcing Microsoft to block mail access for UN employees in Europe.... and tariffs at 145% or 10% or 25% or now 50% towards Apple, China, EU, an island with penguins... 

There is no way of calculating a business case with US manufacturing being far more expensive than just 25% compared to India. Apple might promise to build factories to get a cut on the tariffs. Then plan and build for 3 years, see Trump leave or markets crash, and use the buildings for data centers.

All over in Europe meanwhile organizations and governments are moving away from everything American: no cloud, no social media, no gmail, WhatsApp. No stocks. In the Netherlands they even have a National Get Away Day from WhatsApp! Microsoft is, as we speak, touring with their highest managers around the countries in Europe to make believe that there is no risk to our data. And on the same day a high official in the International Criminal Court could suddenly not access his email (Microsoft) anymore. This is not profitable for your great country, and is going to last for years, if not forever. Destructor in Chief…

Nothing of all the new fun on my phone in the Netherlands…

Instead of releasing Pride wall papers Apple should focus on useable functionality like smart mailboxes on the iPhone mail app. 

Yep. Couldn’t care less about that wallpaper. The settings update seems pretty good. But I’d really like to see mail get serious as the only mail app a user needs. Smart mailboxes, and the ability to schedule an email launch would be a good start. 

And please, also in other languages than English!

Indeed, in most democratic countries this money giving process during elections would be seen as outright corruption.
