I may end up driving to Canada from Wisconsin to buy my next iPhone. No way am I going to pay the Trump Tax.
Please, drive up to Canada, buy it, and tell us what happened. You arrogantly forgot about the exchange rate difference, and you simply don't understand how tariffs really work. Best of luck to you.

What do you mean by "exchange rate difference", and what exactly does daven not "understand" about how tariffs work?
I'm going to so be pissed and relieved when, in the near future, Trump "suspends" this one and the price of AAPL surges back. Pissed because the profit all his insider-trader cronies will make; relieved because I have so much invested in AAPL.
I wish I were so confident that his corruption outweighs his idiocy that I could afford to put my money where my mouth is (by acting like an insider trader knowing he's going to orchestrate a market boost for AAPL soon). Instead I'm just going to keep holding on and ride out the Trump chaos.
"the price of AAPL surges back".. LMAO..
Take a valuation. PE (FWD) x28. Single low digit growth while MSFT. META, AMZN, NVDA deliver double digit growth to justify their high PE (FWD).
Why should AAPL surge with their timid revenue growth? LOL.
AAPL is under pressure. AI is cooked. Even John Siracusa wants Tim to step down in his recent article "Turnaround".
But Apple fanboys don´t want to listen that AAPL is under pressure.
Have fun with tiny upgrades from year to year and you pay way more for iPhones.
AAPL is and remain the worst performer by end of this year. AAPL can´t surge. This rotten stock can stay low for awhile.
I agree with you - Trump need to be allowed the time to destroy all American companies (a good start with Apple) in his own special way so the rest of the world can move on without America being a constant pain in the you know where.
It has nothing to do with Trump tbh. Wearables sales are declining. It is hardly Trump fault. Apple Intelligence is Apple Incompetency. Their on device AI has failed so far. But give Apple one year to fix it although I highly doubt they can fix it. Their sales decline + Apple has lost their dominance in China. All these things have happened before Trump era.
And people justfy that AAPL will outperform? LOL . For long term investors, yes.. But you could also say to NVDA, Walrmart, Nike etc. that they should be fine for long-term.
Yes, Apple has had a rough start with their AI, but name one company whose initial AI venture has not been a complete dumpster fire. Have you forgotten crap like glue on pizzas, how people should eat rocks and other crap like that? Personally, I’d wish of Apple didn’t make this big AI push, it’s all a smoke show anyways where so much of it is trained off of stealing people’s intellectual properties
Well, X has done a great job with Grok3.....
I would agree with your sentiment about AI; however, Apple did deliver on their BS with AI. I don't use any of it. What Apple did not deliver on was a smarter Siri, which only tangentially(?) has to do with AI. The current state of Siri is mostly a result of Apple's neglect of it. It is so frustrating dealing with Siri because it functions so poorly, even worse than before.
So let me see... liberals want to tax corporations more, but they are worried about a tariff. Why?
Either way you are going to pay more. The tariff is a tax that goes into the the US coffers, and sure, the corporations are going raise the prices of goods because of the tariff. However, if you just add taxes on the corporations like the liberals want to, do you really think they won't pass the cost of those taxes on to the consumer? Of course they are.
The nice part about tariffs is that I can choose which company I want to purchase from and potentially avoid the tariff tax. If taxes are levied on the companies by our own tax system, I have to pay the increased tax to all the corporations and don't get to exercise my choice in purchasing. I just get the added bonus of inflation on my purchases.

Your whole post is simpleton logic. The problem isn’t the tax or the tariff. It’s what accompanies the said tax or tariff.
No serious person, economist or politician is going to say “raise taxes on smartphone companies by 25%”. End of story.
This is what “your president” did. “Tariffs on everyone!” Make it so.
Your last paragraph is even weirder.
Show me where in an Apple store I can choose an iPhone “made in China”, “made in India”, “made in Brazil”, “made in USA”.
In fact show me any store where they have sections of, say Adidas runners “made in Indonesia”, “made in Germany”,…
