Bring on the tariffs, including the iPhone.

Meanwhile, Samsung won’t be subject to tariffs. This will prevent Apple from passing the tariffs onto consumers. Apple will have to eat the tariffs. That’s great! Move production out of China to avoid the tariffs.

It is STUPID for a company to have all their production in 1 foreign country. Stupid. Is. As. Stupid. Does.

Huh? And why not? Samsung built and owns many factories in China, and directly employs thousands of Chinese workers. Most of Samsung's products are made in China by Samsung owned factories. Samsung's phones sold in the U.S.A. will indeed be subject to tariffs on Chinese goods. Apple is better positioned, as they contract through Taiwanese companies that can produce outside China, and Apple has factories in the USA and outside of China. Pretty stupid of Samsung to have all their production in China.
