They complain because the money that’s supposed to be spent on potholes isn’t spent on potholes. Then the government cries they need more money to fix the potholes. Which they don’t.

So eliminate all safety standards, eliminate minimum age requirements to work, eliminate minimum wage, etc.
The US can go back to an average life expectancy of 47 years - yay!!!
If we keep going deeper and deeper into a trade deficit and deeper and deeper into debt (yes we need accountability on spending but we are looked at as the payout when **** happens). Both sides do not do this and that’s the whole point. If we made importing fees on semiconductors either as a chip or on a board at the same rate as China we wouldn’t be in this spot.

All of a sudden that $599 iPhone 16e doesn’t look so bad 😬
He didn't trick them. They knowingly did what they did. The unholy alliance between the Republican Party and evangelicals is well documented and goes back to the 1970s.
Kamala lost the election when she said she couldn't think of a thing she would do differently from Biden. It may be a difficult thing to grasp when you see gaping evil and incompetence from Trump and his administration, but the fact on the ground is that the majority of people who voted in the last election didn't like the Democratic-party corporatist status quo. If you truly believe that she only lost because of race and gender, then by allowing her to be the candidate, you were the reason Trump won.
The UK closest comparator was the short-lived Liz Truss government. She was so dangerously incompetent that she was forced to step down within 7 weeks having crashed the Pound Sterling, caused government debt repayments to spike and caused current UK Gilt bondholders to see their investments crash in value. Truss is also pro-Trump btw.
Well I don’t want to get into the partisanship, I’m just pointing out that China cannot afford to lose access to the American market in their current economic state. Does Apple move to quickly increase production to India if the admin makes a deal with India first? That would be disasterious.
I actually don’t believe this. Not that Apple won’t raise prices on things, I think they will. But I think they’re going to raise the prices of accessories and services instead. $59 for silicone cases, $14.99/month for Apple Music, etc. That may minimize the price hike of the iPhone.
Tim Cook is always pricing things high. For example, he priced a monitor at $999. Oh sorry, it's not a monitor. It's a monitor stand.
No, they are as bad as each other. Well they all are IMO.
Actually she was pretty good, she knew what to do to fix things though and the establishment didn’t like it so they destroyed her. If you look into it it was the Bank Of England who caused the issues, not Truss. What Labour are doing now is a million times worst.
Anyway this is a thread about Trump and his crazy tariffs.
Apple would be a very different company if that happened. A much smaller company that could possibly be teetering on the brink.
As usual, the media misses the mark. Trump doesn't want to collect any of these tariffs. He wants countries to drop their tariffs and we drop ours. These are mostly reciprocal.
Also, companies will get exemptions. Tim Cook got Apple one in Trump's first term.
The US is the largest consumer market in the world and has the largest GDP of any country. These countries are racing to make a deal with Washington.
This is a negotiation.

My 14 Pro’s battery health is at 87% so it’s possible I could wait until next year, but there’s no guarantee. A new battery is a possibility as well, but I would prefer to upgrade this year at a normal (for Apple) price.
The President said that they are permanent.
I would be happy to watch Apple take it on the chin and have some lost sales. Does everyone really need a new one? Maybe a down year will force Apple to make changes for the better?
Lot of things being broken in the world right now. Obvious downsides, but the upside is maybe it forces some stagnant companies to change. Isn't that what MR readers are asking for? Apple to stop selling the same thing every year? And yet we blindly keep buying.

Tomorrow he'll say the opposite. He loves to flip flop to promote destruction of everything but himself.

We can't really know what Apple's cost is. Which is what the tariff will be based on. Since it will all land with Apple, not directly to consumers. They will have to pass along the costs. it will be more expensive, my guess will be more like 10-15% more than today. They will shift around their supply line. They know they can't sell a base model iPhone for $1230. But they also know Samsung can't sell their phones either. That $2000 fold is going to be WICKEDLY high priced.
Tim Cook will figure it out. Even if they have to ship the parts to Texas and put them together there to do it.
I hope all the butt hurt people commenting are up-to-date on their vaccinations and enjoyed someone other than grandpa running this country for four years. Gas prices were at record prices, he left troops to die, prices for raw materials were skyrocketing, just to name a few. Oh, and let’s not forget about the laptop that “didn’t exist”.
People need to read and inform themselves about truth and stop listening/watching mainstream media. You hear what they want you to hear.
Likely the same people that say “this wouldn’t happen with Steve around.” Move on!
