Mrs B convinced my not to pull the trigger on the iphone 16 pro deals. My phone still works fine so shes convinced to me ride it out and just accept that you'll have to pay more to replace mine when it actually dies (or develops a fault I cant deal with). If I end up paying 2.5k for a new iphone cause of trumps tarrifs I'm gonna be spewing but I guess thats future me's problem.
The tariffs are USA law, so only affect imports into USA. If you buy in Australia price is unaffected.
And Apple wonβt hesitate to jack up the price across to board to soften the blow to us consumers?
