incoming trump administration could add .

two hundred forty dollars to the cost of an iphone according to a piece from barren or two hundred and fifty six dollars according to Jeffery y's analyst Edison lee or apple could charm the new administration in the sterling IT clear of taribo. Or maybe that the other way around that last one is the thinking of bloomberg s very own mark germen and refer, of course, to mark german, starting with the barr's peace, roughly forty five to fifty percent of the cost of a nike on is imported content.

A sixty percent tariff on the imported portion of the Price would therefore come to attacks on apple of roughly two hundred sixteen dollars to two hundred forty per iphone sixteen, an effective rate of twenty seven to thirty percent, assuming the company doesn't get the same sort of exemption from chinese import terror that was granted during the previous truck administration. Parents figures apple would have to navigate those levies through some combination of lower profit margins and higher Prices. Raising Prices will likely lower demand, so that's no good if margins take ahead.

Parents says earnings would be impacted either way as the site apple stock is likely to be hurt over a jeffrey's. Addison, please take is both more intricate and more vae seeking alpha had the analyst pointing out that apple has proactively diversified its production outside of china, moving some to india, for example. Despite that, only roughly ten percent of iphones are made outside of china, but the parts come from either, either and yon.

Thinking along barren lines, leave thinks it's possible the terrorists will be applied the individual parts based on their country of origin. However, the analyst says, in the worst case scenario, where the terror is sixty percent for all content made outside the U. S, that would amount to two hundred and fifty six dollars per phone, or roughly twenty two percent of its average selling Price, playing the part of the law.

Acx is the consumer technology association, or C, T, A, speaking not for the trees, but the consumer. And the study published last month to C, T. A.

And at their core, these proposals are tools for the U. S. Government to graph as much tax revenue as possible from the american people.

We've seen this movie before and know the ending. The proposed tabs will not create more employment or manufacturing in the U. S.

In fact, the opposite may happen where our productivity decreases and jobs may be lost over time when workers and businesses have less affordable access to technology. Apple is a member of the C. T.

A. possible. The cupertino company agrees with the org. Gorges doesn't want to take his head above the parapet. The iphone negar declined to comment on the terror taught for barren.

Well, the tariff thing looks ugly for apple, with trump promising a sixty percent tariff on goods imported into the U. S. From china and twenty percent on goods important from other countries. Bloomberg s.

Mark german thinks apple will find a way around or through the issue relatively unscaled said to be working in apple's favor a cooks relationship with the prior trumpet administration when trump was in office from twenty seventeen, the twenty twenty one german says cook was almost a White house picture meeting frequently with the president. Cook will be able to highlight the growing number of iphones manufactured in india, a country LED by trump, airline and mode. Cook can argue, as he did last time, the taxing iphone will only help non american rivals.

There's a new mate in the USA mac pro expected in twenty twenty five. There's A T, S, mmc plant coming online in arizona, troubled shore, but still within the U. S. borders. And finally, there are those stopping start plant for a major campus in north CarOlina.

A if IT makes progress on the effort before trumps term ends in twenty twenty nine, german says that will give apple another way to show that IT is committed to the us, but those not the only reason for cooked to play ball with the incoming administration. German says its possible a trap administration would work to get the D, O, J drop its case against apple, though that is not a guarantee. The company might also seek help dealing with the european union, which is looking to rain in the up store, not that it's all on china and Molly pops.

The piece points out that mac gates, trust nominee for attorney general, has been a critic of big tech. Apple CEO has also had a contentious relationship with trump's big text I ellon mosque. And last and perhaps the least in the minds of sum, there are apple employees.

According to german slack, the now in dispensable messaging tool was not used by apple the first time trump was elected. Today's workers use that regulatory to speak up about apple policies, and some may not hesitate to blast the company wide slack channel with complaints about trump. A backlash could make IT more chAllenging for cook to play nice with the president.

If you don't have a vision pro and haven't tried to demo IT really is tough to say how good immersive video is between the documentary type offerings, the concert for one series, the recent title from the weekend and the scripted what's emerged.

Some people seem to be getting refunds that are bigger than what they had actually paid for apple care. Plus while others are only getting back a couple of box, also unclear what that these people knew they were do a refund, the reports says.
