Trump says a 25% tariff "must be paid by Apple" on iPhones not made in the US, says he told Tim Cook long ago that iPhones sold in the US must be made in the US

You're viewing a single thread.
Once again. Companies do NOT pay tariffs. They pass on those costs of those tariffs to their customers. YOU are gonna pay that extra 25% not Apple.
that’s fine. iphones are so cheap, people can handle even 50% tariffs. apple is worth every penny /s.
going to buy a cmf phone 2 now…
Yeah. I'm typing this on a $300 Chinese phone with 10600mAH battery, reverse wireless charging, a thermal imaging camera, and it's waterproof and shock resistant.
I have strongly considered the Armor line. Which is what I'm assuming you're talking about
It's 27T Pro. I like it better than the iPhone it replaced.
The only downsides I've seen so far are that it requires a separate app for wifi calling and it has fewer zoom options for the camera. I'd like to figure out how to get the IR blaster to read signals (so I can easily clone my remotes).
Shit duee my unlocked Sony Xperia has WiFi calling locked via the carrier 😅
I'm no slouch when it comes to basic tech literacy, but I was left scratching my head when I watched the WiFi calling setting literally disappear before my eyes. Fuck AT&T (at least I'm on a cheap plan)
how long is it going to take, before you realize its too late? if they didn't realize by now, they aren't going to
Trump will never ever admit he's wrong, but I'm curious how the voters will react when everything costs 50% more all of a sudden.
They'll probably blame Biden somehow, but I'm curious still
He's already called all the stock market turmoil "Biden's market", hilariously.
It’s extremely misleading to say “companies do not pay tariffs” and then immediately explain that companies do indeed pay tariffs.
Is it only tariff costs that are passed on to employees and customers or are all corporate tax costs passed on to employees and customers?
At the end of the day it's all of it. Some of it is built into their existing model, some of it is constant etc but they include it all in the calculations to come up with the prices. New costs like these tariffs get added to the overall margin calculation and a new price is set.
Still there is another side of it that also interesting. These companies has done their calculations so the cost of the product is perfect. Increasing that price means less people will buy the product.
Increasing that price means less people will buy the product.
Unless your competitors are also facing the same forced price increase.
