Will Apple be able to build enough factories and hire enough factory workers in time to produce the iPhone 17 using 100% American-made parts that themselves are made with American-sourced raw materials? Hope those donations to Trump and turning your back on LGBTQIA+ were worth it, Tim Cook… - ThreadSky

Tim Cook said being gay was God's greatest gift to him and that he was proud to be gay.

Sounds like anything can change if there's enough money in it.

Tim Apple Trump calls him. Lol

It’s not just the factories that need to be built it’s the whole supply chain.

Even if they could, I’m not buying one. Was hoping to upgrade my Xr this year but not spending a dollar on any firm that supported Trump. If they keep supporting him long enough I may have to get used to a different user interface… There’s worse things in life 🧐

Well Google and Microsoft also donated to Trump so we’re kinda SOL. Android is Google. And Google has been even more supportive of him by gleefully changing the name of the Gulf on maps and removing Pride Month and Black History Month from calendars…

Thanks for setting my record straight! I forgot about the Gulf compliance and their donos. May have to go without phone then.

this administration is our first openly fascist authoritarian administration and is flouting the constitution and judges rulings. I really hoped that there would be a quasi militaristic intervention and a temporary junta govt to give back to a real POTUS, like Kamala. I was wrong. Democrats wont.

lluck002.bsky.social•2 days ago

I was hoping so too 😔

Probably, but it would take 5 to 10 years. By that time Apple would probably be out of business.

I mean iPhone 17 releases this fall so def not in time for that lol.

it'll be no problem for them to meet sales after they drop 75% because apple can't compete with other smartphone manufacturers anymore.

lluck002.bsky.social•2 days ago

I mean, all smartphone manufacturers trying to sell to Americans will suffer because there are a total of zero smartphone models that are produced in the United States…

The tariffs on Apple iPhones and other devices imported from China, India, and Vietnam will increase Apple’s annual costs by $8.5 billion, according to Morgan Stanley. That would be a roughly 7 percent hit on next year’s profits.

With that kind of money and time, Apple should just purchase a new president.

If Apple were to close all factories across the world, would the world still be willing to buy Apple?
Some other international company will fill that vacuum.

There was no emergency—until I made it one! Now it’s a REAL emergency, folks—an economic battle, a tariff tsunami!

And who gave me the power? Congress did! They knew I’d use it—bigly! So don’t blame me for playing the game. Blame them for giving me the cards!

Faux News took their stock ticker down today.
Coincidence? I don't think so.

Even if apple picks its greedy ass up, who will be able to afford buying their iPhones after losing their 401k’s, their pensions, their health insurance, etc?

chasmac77.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why would Cook suddenly build a factory in the US? Trump might change his mind a week from now. There’s no telling what Capn’ Von Shitzinpants will do next.

Apple only have to build/employ enough for the American market. The rest of the world can buy tariff free from the international/ China made products.
