China’s exports of iPhones to the U.S. were $31 billion in 2018, accounting for 6.5% of China’s total exports to the U.S. last year, which came in at $478.4 billion, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. It was another record-breaking year for China exports and trade gaps between the two countries.

So if the US economy needs China 🇨🇳... can we please de-escalate the current shit fight

That’s getting paid

Oh no a trillion dollar company may have to start paying American workers instead of pay nothing for labor.

Dotard in Chief destroying everything in his path.

Pure human stupidly !

Apple has huge profit margins, and to preserve those, the corporation will re-examine and -re-structure its supply chain... assuming management is not STUPID. As to sales, the 'richer' middle class will go on buying APPLE products come what may, even if in total secrecy.

But in good news huawei was black listed in the USA. Should be good news for apple for the time being, let’s hope a trade agreement can be reached.

Second is qcom

Don’t forget all of Trump’s merchandise companies.
