I wonder if he knows apple simply can not comply with this. Apple doesn't know how to make iPhones (at the scale and rate needed) and no one in the US does either.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

Well, technically, any kind of tariff added to the import is always paid by Apple, who else would pay it? Some unrelated company? A foreign country?
They will simply increase the price by an amount that will keep them making the same amount of money. The main problem is that because they like to do a round price worldwide, we European we'll pay more too, so they can make more money. Assholes
It's coming true.
And again "tariff must be paid by Apple" really shows that he still has no idea how they work.
Made in India + 25% tariff is still cheaper than made in Murica.
That BS is just for media.
iPhones not iPhone's... Who let this idiot be in charge of anybody? Did he even go to school?
& Just that entire sentence is atrociously bad
Thank your for your attention to this matter!€
LMFAO it's the entire fucking tweet!! Thank your for your... omg you are the president of the united states get grammarly or something...you sound even dumber than the people who voted for you...
An extra 25% must be paid by consumers. Like every other tariff. New taxes be like that.
And knowing the cult of Apple, they'll pay it because it makes them look wealthy. That is the whole culture of Apple Customer base.
'What's up, everybody? This is your boy Apple Lad, and I came through with one of those Tariff I Phones, just so I can unbox it for you!
This is what you get for bending down to the tyrant in inauguration day. You cant appease tyrants, you must fight them.
Good fuck apple they probably donated to trump
They did, or at least Tim Cook did.
What a fucking idiot
Such smol govment
It is paid by consumers, not Apple. Other phone companies will raise prices as well to increase their profits, since iPhone prices will set a new high price. When Apple prices goes up 25% other phone companies can increase their prices by 15% and still be competitive to apple.
Actually to make same profit due to lower phone sales Apple may have to raise price even higher than 25% or find other ways to get consumers to pay more. Die hard fans of Apple will buy, whatever the price.
Killing Biden's CHIPs act certainly didn't help that cause.
Problem is that it had bidens sign on it, so he was forced to kill it without even taking care of its contents
He will kill and reinstate it to sell it as his own doing.
Obviously guided by his counselers and consultants.
Oh, like NAFTA!
Failed business man telling people how to run their businesses. I’ve got an idea about how to make American manufacturing cheaper universal healthcare.
It would take MINIMUM 10 years to even come close to like 60% manufactured in US. And that’s assuming the US upends the entire global tech industry by coming even kind of close to TSMC’s chip manufacturing tech.
Good news on the latter front, actually: https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/tsmc-expands-investments-in-the-u-s-to-usd165-billion-with-new-fabs-and-r-and-d-center-a-closer-look
I see the problem here. He's talking to Tim Cook, who's CEO of some cooking company. He needs to talk to Tim Apple.
Tim Apple could just buy him a fucking plane and be done with it. And that would open up some interesting opportunities, nahmean?
It’s what I’d do if I were an ambitious, resource hoarding, ass pimple billionaire.
It’s obvious the way to Trump’s heart is to tell him he’s pretty and give him something .
Yeah make him a custom iPhone with a unibody out of pure gold?
This is actually a real socialist or even communist policy. The State controlling the businesses.
How in god's name is this promoting worker ownership of Apple's phone production processes?
It is authoritarian. Communist system devolve to authoritarianism because it is a natural progression (easy to do). Socialists can, but a good democratic political structure makes it harder.
Apparently capitalist systems devolve into authoritarianism; as evidenced by living in 2025.
You can know the impact of what building in the US would be by looking at Purism. They sell a Linux phone for $800. If you want the same phone built in the US, they charge $2000.
