Apple is cooked. Not only are they going to get decimated in China, but they are going to see demand destruction in the US due to tariffs. And neither Trump nor Xi cares about Apple.
I mean, you're not wrong, but the same applies to all phone manufacturers. Samsung, Pixel, etc. are going to see similar price hikes due to tariffs in the US, and a similar drop in demand in China as the population there moves to Chinese manufacturers. I'm not sure why you're singling out Apple.
Yes, but any country that counter tariffs the US makes Apple products more expensive while other (non us based) companies don't have that problem.
Pretty sure the country of origin for Apple products isn’t the US anyway. They’d be coming from China, India, etc. Reciprocal tariffs on the US should have no effect on Apple products sold in other countries.
