I assume this only applies to those devices in the list sold in the US not those bought in the rest of the world. Given that the US is about 40% of Apple revenue (mostly iPhones and Mac’s), the impact of this on Apple will be meaningful but surely not very significant?
The impact on US consumers will be precisely what they voted for?

The US market is probably high priority for Apple. My guess is they could raise prices on everyone to lessen the raised price in the US. This just shows using tariffs is a lame tactic but perfect for an authoritarian dictator whose modus operandi within a democracy is rule by executive order and threats. 

Trump’s way of talking and texting using gaslighting superlatives reminds me of someone…Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei; the same kind of delusional detached way of talking and texting. The guy who declared bankruptcy 9 times, who is forcing GOP sheep to pass his beautiful bill that apparently will add trillions to America’s debt and remove millions from Medicaid, keeps harping about countries paying the tariffs like he got one over on them. 

Perhaps the only way to avoid this kind of intellectual property theft is to sue the pants of Di guy. Sue Liu for $50 million in damages. 

The logo looks best where it is. Center of device. Moving it down makes the iPhone look longer.

Slaughter bots, hilarious. Dictators like Trump would love these things, "my beautiful slaughter bots". I would say the video is currently still science fiction but countries are working on it. Militaries all over the world are putting AI into weapons of war and police. Perhaps coordinating swarms of AI slaughter bots would need something like Elon-the-Nazi's Starlink.
