🚨BASED TAKE ON IPHONE TARIFF FEAR-MONGERING
NO, a 104% import duty won’t turn a $1,000 iPhone 16 into a $2,080 panic price.
FACTS:
🔹Tariffs = taxes on importers like $AAPL, not consumers directly.
🔹104% China tariff could raise iPhone prices by $50–$700, depending on Apple’s strategy.
🔹Most analysts expect a $100–$300 increase short term—not double.
🔹Apple could absorb the cost, shift production, or renegotiate with suppliers.
🔻Options Apple Has:
A) Move production to the US: Costs fall long term, manufacturing gets localized.
B) China lowers prices to keep Apple: Apple swallows tariff, profits take a hit.
C) US-China negotiate export terms: US could take a cut from foreign profits.
BOTTOM LINE:
🔹iPhones cost ~$200 to make; the $800 markup benefits China + Apple, not the US.
🔹Tariffs can rebalance this in America’s favor.
🔹Short-term pain, long-term gain: cheaper, better U.S.-made iPhones ahead.
Don't buy the fear—understand the leverage.
