What? Are you putting American chips in these phones manufactured in China? Why would you think they wouldn’t be subjected to the chip tariff?
If you manufactured it in the USA there are no tariffs. I don’t know why this is so hard to understand. Manufactured in the USA = no tariffs. Manufactured outside the USA = tariffs. It’s really that simple.
Labor has always been more expensive in the US, that’s why tariffs exist.
Its really fucking lame to label everyone you don’t understand as a “troll/bot”.
I don’t know how many ways there are to explain that tariffs only impact imported goods. If it’s manufactured in the US, there is no tariff. This is, in fact, how tariffs work.
“Trolling” = discussing facts? You are the one who doesn’t understand. It’s very simple: US tariffs do not apply to US products.
Not correct. Once again, tariffs only affect imported goods. If you buy an iPhone built in China (assuming you import to the US) you’re going to pay a tariff on the device.
If you buy a phone built in America, with Chinese processors, you only pay tariff on the processor.

Read all of the comments here. I’m not disagreeing that it would drive prices up, I’m disagreeing that there would be tariffs on American products, because that’s not how tariffs work.
If you manufacture the product in the US, you need to pay 100% tariffs for all the chips.
Incorrect. Once again, tariffs are only for imported products. That’s how tariffs work.
Yes, and since those products are only imported, it won’t affect US products, like I said.
I agree but that’s not what we were discussing
Isn’t that in agreement with OP?
No, OP said it only applied to US products. It’s applied to all imported products. That’s what a tariff is.
I honestly don’t get whatever “it” is. Again, if you don’t understand what a tariff is, it’s very simple to look it up. Don’t take my word for it.
WTF are you talking about? Did you not go to elementary school?
The tariffs only apply to the imported products. That’s how tariffs work. If you import components into a US product then you only pay the tariff on those components, not the entire product.
Why wouldn’t I be serious? If they’re manufactured outside the US then they’re obviously not manufactured in the US?
Then there are no US products to affect?
Huh? No, it’s the opposite. You should really look up how tariffs work. They drive up prices for goods manufactured outside the US. Local goods are unaffected, giving them a competitive advantage.
Lots of people do not buy them, for exactly this reason.
When I can play Pokemon games on my Steam Deck I’ll think about buying them. Until then I’ll continue hating on Nintendo to anyone who will listen. And many more who won’t.
Would be a glass house if Google started throwing stones.
Why wouldn’t the tariff apply to chips already in devices? That’s the way its always been discussed.
