    They need to dig up, not down, to get out of the hole.

  • iPhone 17 Pro predicted to cost over $2000 because of Trump tariffs

    mattinozmattinoz
    Do tariffs work differently in the USA to well the rest of the world?

    Apple is well versed in using the hardware import price globally to limit costs of duties, booking all the IP movement into duty-free transfer methods that would be even easier given they have lots of Business costs in the USA for services and IP generation to not even move the money offshore. 

    So how is the iPhone Pro Max going to get from $1199 to over $2k without profiteering?
    Gross margin is 46% last year we can assume the proMax is one of the products above that not below. 
    IP Coust are the next biggest part. 
    so maybe 15% at most will attract a tariff. 

    So basically under $90 so assume they round up $100 across the board?

    Guess Tim Cook needs to pay Trump more money to get on the exception list. I mean, the US is the most corrupt nation in the world, why not go full in?
    Why when most of product value is not the physical goods that are effected?

    They can add $100 to base prices maybe adjust the storage tiers down a bit and make more profit to offset sales decline to help weather the Trump-recession.

  • iPhone Fold won't be an iPad or iPhone killer

    mattinozmattinoz
    Seems like pundits generally being journalists like people have the carpenters problem. 
    “When all you have is a hammer everything looks like nail”
    Everything is measured by how well pundits can type while out and about. 

    People will like the fold and pay for it and it doesn’t need to displace anything it is not a generosity of sprite we have seen for any other iPhone model, the iPad or indeed other high end devices aimed at more niche markets that aren’t wordsmiths.

    Looking at futures right now tomorrow (April 3) looks like a world class sh!t storm. In fact, safety locks might be triggered. You know, the ones when the stock market drops too much during one trading session. Right now, tomorrow might be one of those historic days.

    America wanted change. Well, tomorrow they will get it. Enjoy the ride.

    Apple will survive. But Joe Average American is going to feel it to the core. Too bad.
    Apple can always start supporting Caliexit on the side. Which would free them and a big chunk of Americans from this mess.
