      Henceforth Trump will slap iPhone from India with heavy tariffs.

        Trump should force Apple to go back its manufacturing into the U.S. by increasing their tax rate.

            My take is.. Only repair cost, 2nd hand iPhone and price of parts would be a lot lower then it's now... buying the new iPhone would cost almost the same... Time to see iPhone case with Android in it

When you add the fact Apple won't have to pay for import taxes then price gonna be lower for sure even with higher manufacturing cost.

The whole reason Apple is doing this is to avoid the super high tariffs they have to deal with, so they can price it more normally if they do it domestically. They won't decrease the price below what they have to though, so it'll be marginal.

                              A very welcome move

                                I'm sure that the prices will not go down by much but maybe 5% to the maximum extent. Just their profits will increase. No benifits for Indian customers...

                                They're the greediest one's ever the earth have seen

                                        Apple would be made in the US is they were cheaper and willing to assemble phones.
