Should You Buy an iPhone Before Tariffs Hit?

Apple
Apple CEO Tim Cook (C) seen behind US President Donald Trump (R) and US Vice President JD Vance (L) after the two were sworn into office at an inauguration ceremony in the rotunda of the United States Capitol on January 20, 2025 in Washington, DC. .

President Donald Trump reinforced his threat to impose tariffs on Apple (AAPL) on Friday, the latest in his "America-first" economic push.

"I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhone's that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else," he posted on his Truth Social platform. "If that is not the case, a Tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the U.S. Thank your for your attention to this matter!"
