Wonder how Apple is taking this
EDIT: Interesting, didn't know Apple manufacturing policies until now.
- kayfox 8y agoThey don't manufacture devices in the US, so they should be fine.
- maxwell 8y agoThey partnered with Flextronics to assemble the Mac Pro in Texas.

- mreome 8y agoApple doesn't assemble their devices domestily. This tariff does not include complete phones. I'm sure they are perfectly fine with these tarrifs, they are a barrier for potential competitors who don't already have established supply and assembly facilities in China/Tiwaian.
- maxwell 8y agoMac Pro is assembled in Fort Worth.
- rsynnott 8y agoThey assemble Mac Pros in the US. They've also apparently been considering assembling some other stuff in the US; I assume those plans have come to a screeching halt.
- mreome 8y agoThanks for the clarification. As you say though, this will likely stop further domestic assembly operations from being established. It will be business as usual for the big players who do assembly in China, the rest will be encouraged to move them back there. In no way does this seem like it could have the intended effect.
- brodie 8y agoCould this policy actually be the result of Chinese politicians and/or businesspeople engaging in pay-for-play with Trump? Or is there another explanation for why this policy doesn’t affect certain completed products from China? I just don’t get that part of it at all.
- rb808 8y ago9030.40.00 Instruments and apparatus specially designed for telecommunications Doesn't that mean iPhones will have the tariff?
- Shank 8y agoCompleted smartphones and TVs aren't on the list, so they aren't under this one.
