Report: Apple Airlifted Premium Devices to US to Beat Tariff Deadline

Quick Summary:

Apple urgently requested suppliers to ship as many premium devices as possible to the United States by air freight, especially those priced above $3,000, in response to President Donald Trump's announcement of "reciprocal" tariffs of up to 104% on trading partners (via Nikkei).

The tariff situation has already had a substantial impact on Apple's stock, which has fallen nearly 23% since last Wednesday, as investors worry about the potential effects on the company's profits and global supply chain.

A recent report suggests Apple plans to source more iPhones for the U.S.market from India, where tariffs are set at 26% compared to the 104% tariff on goods from China.
