25 %? They’ll gladly take that. Manufacturing in the US of A would surely cost them more than triple of what it is currently. Just think of the battery production, cutting edge chips, screens. One does not simply move that to another country.

Their customers will take that. There’s no world Apple eats a 25% cost rather than simply increasing their prices.

If they manufactured the iPhone in the US then how much would the tariff be on the components?
