    Once again. Companies do NOT pay tariffs. They pass on those costs of those tariffs to their customers. YOU are gonna pay that extra 25% not Apple.

      Is it only tariff costs that are passed on to employees and customers or are all corporate tax costs passed on to employees and customers?

        Trump will never ever admit he’s wrong, but I’m curious how the voters will react when everything costs 50% more all of a sudden.

        They’ll probably blame Biden somehow, but I’m curious still

      that’s fine. iphones are so cheap, people can handle even 50% tariffs. apple is worth every penny /s.

        Yeah. I’m typing this on a $300 Chinese phone with 10600mAH battery, reverse wireless charging, a thermal imaging camera, and it’s waterproof and shock resistant.

          I have strongly considered the Armor line. Which is what I’m assuming you’re talking about

            It’s 27T Pro. I like it better than the iPhone it replaced.

            The only downsides I’ve seen so far are that it requires a separate app for wifi calling and it has fewer zoom options for the camera. I’d like to figure out how to get the IR blaster to read signals (so I can easily clone my remotes).
