    Once again. Companies do NOT pay tariffs. They pass on those costs of those tariffs to their customers. YOU are gonna pay that extra 25% not Apple.

        Trump will never ever admit he’s wrong, but I’m curious how the voters will react when everything costs 50% more all of a sudden.

        They’ll probably blame Biden somehow, but I’m curious still

      that’s fine. iphones are so cheap, people can handle even 50% tariffs. apple is worth every penny /s.

      going to buy a cmf phone 2 now…

        Yeah. I’m typing this on a $300 Chinese phone with 10600mAH battery, reverse wireless charging, a thermal imaging camera, and it’s waterproof and shock resistant.

          I have strongly considered the Armor line. Which is what I’m assuming you’re talking about

            It’s 27T Pro. I like it better than the iPhone it replaced.

            The only downsides I’ve seen so far are that it requires a separate app for wifi calling and it has fewer zoom options for the camera. I’d like to figure out how to get the IR blaster to read signals (so I can easily clone my remotes).

              Shit duee my unlocked Sony Xperia has WiFi calling locked via the carrier 😅
              I’m no slouch when it comes to basic tech literacy, but I was left scratching my head when I watched the WiFi calling setting literally disappear before my eyes. Fuck AT&T (at least I’m on a cheap plan)
