  • New tariffs could raise iPhone prices by about 40% in the U.S.
  • Apple’s AI delays are hurting its appeal, while Chinese brands have rapidly integrated AI.
  • Nationalism and anti-Trump sentiment are driving some buyers to Chinese brands.

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.
