🚨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.
