Apple’s overpriced phones have quite a high profit margin; surely they could absorb most of the tariff costs while still making a profit? Or would that not be greedy enough for them?
you don’t understand. Mexico will pay for the wall and also for the 40% of every iPhone
Yeah, but what about my hourly latte and avocado toast?
Why would they absorb the tariffs? iPhone users will just pay the higher prices or buy one overseas
IIRC the profit margins are no longer even close to what they used to be. They’re now estimated to cost between 400 and 700 dollars to make depending on the specs. Used to be what, 75 dollars?
The fact is, the hardware side is economically pretty comparable to high end Android devices. Those are going to go up in price and so are iPhones.
Google and Apple of course have the app store fees as a sweet source of income, so they have an advantage compared to Samsung.
