Apple rapidly shipped five planeloads of iPhones and other products from India to the US in late March to avoid new tariffs, ensuring steady prices temporarily. This pre-tariff move helps delay global price revisions. Other exports like gems and jewellery also surged to capitalize before the tariffs took effect. March exports are estimated to surpass $800 billion.

    Apple has teased with making the iPhone-as-a-service, meaning you lease it instead of owning it. The tariffs might give it the pretext it needed to go ahead with the idea, because the alternative would be sacrificing some of its abundant profit margins.

      That’s already a thing in Mexico (with a 3rd party reseller)

        It’s also an option with some of the Canadian companies so I have to make sure the two year term is to-own whenever I get a new phone.

        Most carriers seem to offer a cheaper rental contract now

    I, similarly, ordered a shitload of ramen noodles from sayweee.com/en before the tariffs kicked in. They haven’t arrived yet but when they do, it’s going to be a box so big, my neighbors are going to assume I got new furniture.

      Pretty smart really. Good shelf life, easy prep, calorie dense.
