Maybe the US could pop back to an old system they had there where some of the population didn't get paid at all for the work they did? :dunno:Quote:

Quite apart from the upfront costs in setting up a production facility in the US, the profit margins at that price will be so slim as to make it uneconomic. Would-be manufacturers would also be wary of the fact that there might be a change in Government, and policy, in a few years' time.
IMO, people and businesses who can afford it will suck up the price-increases for now; others will hold off upgrading.
Yeah, that's one of the reasons why tariffs might not work as well as Trump seems to think, unless Apple shift the manufacturing for the entire worlds supply of iphones to the US, the cost of manufacturing a 100% US made iphone is likely to be much higher than just getting one from China and paying the additional tariff on it.Quote:

which gives a rough idea of the cost of making a phone from scratch. The cost of an iphone would clearly be much less as this is a one off, but it does give you an idea of the costs involved in setting up new tooling lines and assembly lines.
My current iPhone is over 5 years old and I知 hoping to get a few more months out of it although the speaker is deteriorating on it now and I知 switching to Samsung after seeing the Apple boss standing with Trump at his inauguration.Quote:

They might get a super deal from a super deal maker.

Meanwhile 12% has been wiped out both my pension fund and investment ISA.
At this rate I値l be a pauper by July.
It truly is a real-life caricature. The whole thing. How long will it take the people to wake up to what is going on? There must be something in their water 🙄Quote:
