It costs around $30 to manufacture. Maybe they are $300 all in with every cost added including company overhead. What price does apple declare the iphone as at the port of entry? I imagine it is a low amount, say $100. Apple can pay the tariff themselves.

- bigyabai 2y agoThe BOM for the iPhone has evolved significantly, but you're still right. Even with the margins Apple has today, they could swallow the cost and keep trucking. But they won't do that, because shareholders would have Tim's head on a platter if hardware revenue took a nosedive.
