Analysts are some of the dumbest human beings out there. LMFAO. Apple would sell a couple hundred thousand iPhones at those prices.

Sorry to break it to you stupid analysts but Apple will in fact be SWALLOWING a ton of this cost.

And by the way these tariffs are actually great and 100% necessary. The US has allowed all of our manufacturing to be taken overseas particularly by China at our detriment.

We have EPA regulations and climate initiatives but don’t give a **** that all we did was moved OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT TO CHINA. Pathetically stupid humans.

We also do not give a **** about the fact that our labor is simply torture-labor and child labor in these countries.

We are fine with it all. Hypocritical dumb people.

The tariffs are great and THE ONLY THING THAT WILL FORCE COMPANIES TO COME BACK TO THE US.
Even if they don’t all come back, which I suspect is not to total goal, lowering tariffs on us to make it equal will allow us to bring some of it back and be competitive. Right now we are at such a deficit we have not shot of competing.
 
Amazon should buy a BOAT LOAD of 16's NOW and then sell them on the cheaper side and at least get people up to the near current cuz it's not going to be easy getting new phones going forward. At least not for a while.

Hey, man! As long as I can get my Apple
Products cheap, I don’t care who makes them! Even if they’re 12 or working extreme hours in miserable conditions!

That’s a lot of people on this forum it seems, sadly. They love reaping the benefits of ‘affordable’ devices but care next to nothing on how they get those ‘affordable’ devices.
 
At least all this nonsense will hammer MAGA and GOP at midterms and onward.

They aren't planning to let any semblance of Democracy exist moving forward.
If it does sneak through, they just plan to overturn it.

I don't know what it will take for MAGA folks to realize that this eventually hits them also.
It's bizarre to be so obsessed with "winning" that you'll burn down the entire house you yourself are inside of.

I guess it's cult based suicide of sorts.

I'm not for that, at all!

But what's going on right now is in no way going to solve for any of that.

In fact, adding costs all over via tariffs only makes solving those issues LESS likely.

Now there will have to be enough margin for Apple AND to account for "paying off" the relevant parties to get out of tariffs.
 
I doubt it. A comment section full of people who have never negotiated a deal in their entire lives. He has everyone’s attention now. They need us more than we need them or new iPhones. Not a week ago the thread is lamenting “we don’t need annual updates” anyway.
People are commenting and revelling in the USA ********. Of course the clown gets attention, that happens in any circus, even a third rate one.
 
I’m upgrading my 14 Pro Max to a 16 Pro Max this weekend with AT&T’s $1,000 credit deal.Will also add the $10 a month upgrade option. It’s great for me as my 14 Pro Max has a broken glass back and needs repair, and AT&T will take it anyway. Future iPhones will be more expensive, and it gives me optionality.

It's a good thing we have China's attention now, and they were able to bless us with 34% reciprocal tariffs.
 
I'm really enjoying these full meltdown comments. I don't always trust news that exaggerates what's happening.


All news/media in general are loving this. Its like how the Weather Channel gets no ratings until a CAT 5 threatens to wipe out a state.

Its good for Macrumors because they now don't have to solely rely on content farm posting multiple stories on Gurman's thoughts if a new Apple display is ever coming. Now they can just post tariff predictions everyday and get the clicks.
