            We are so grateful, Apple, for blessing humanity with your products while keeping prices affordable!

              press (x) to doubt!!

                Apple and US will be too clever!! The tariff probably gets adjusted with cheaper production cost combined with currency movements.....it will be only felt outside USA which in any case lost cause for Apple... domestic market they will continue to milk the innocents

                  We must be dreaming if Apple bring those prices down...

                    "Apple is prepared to absorb the extra expenses and the tariffs won’t lead to a price increase for Apple products"

                    It is not Apple if they don't increase the prices of their products every year. A leopard cannot change its spots.

                        People will still buy it. The higher they cost the higher the status symbol.

                          AverageUser, 05 Aug 2019Well, their products are already way too expensive so this ... moreApple products that fall within this latest round WON'T get an exemption, this trump believe will force Apple to come back to the United States.

                          As I UK understand it the earlier Tarrifs Apple did get as exemption so those Apple items get an exemption.

                          I really don't know if this loss of exemption now applies to the earlier tariffs where it got the relief.

                          Don't feel bad for Apple as it has a very high markup on cost, a 10% or even 25% tariff is under that threshold, Apple still will make a profit

                            Well, their products are already way too expensive so this is only logical solution. Alternative would be to lose even more customers...

                              They are already very very very expensive.
