Trump tells Apple to build iPhones in U.S. or pay 25% tariff
- mdp2021 1y agoThe core computation many are expecting is at the bottom: > Analysts have said a U.S.-manufactured iPhone would be prohibitively expensive. [...] the reality of a $1000 iPhone ... would disappear", Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives wrote recently. // He suggested making iPhones in "New Jersey, or Texas, or another state" would boost their price tag to $3500
