Apple’s China Dilemma 🍎🇨🇳

Apple and China have been besties for manufacturing, but Trump’s trade war is making that relationship hella expensive.

🚨 Breaking News
Apple now faces up to 145% in tariffs from China, and experts say they’ve got no quick fix lined up.

⚡Wire Simplified

• China’s tariffs on Apple keep rising.

• The cumulative rate has hit 145% 😬

• Apple’s been trying to diversify production—slowly.

• But no short-term plans are strong enough to escape the tariff trap.

• Analysts say Apple’s stuck… for now.

✔️Straight to the Point
Apple’s deep ties to China are backfiring, and unless they find new production homes fast, profit margins might take a hit.
