I actually wouldn't be surprised if this makes the console makers looking into assembling the consoles in the US. Don't know if that would knock enough off the price to make it work the effort though. But if this tariff is something that they think will stay in place for a while its an option. Overall more bullshit from Trump. |
I can't see that happening, Trump want's Apple to move production to the USA but they are not stupid. It simply costs way to much to do that, labor costs, befits, teaching a new workforce to build phones, importing the materials needed that are not readily available in the US (rare earth metals)... basically you would see the cost of an average iphone jump by 25%. if Consoles were made in the USA you would be spending more then that 25%.
