All Apple has to do is reduce their profit margin to 4975% to “eat” the tariff.

‘long ago’ = 3 months ago.

It would take 10-15 years for Apple to transition to a US production even if it sank all the money it had into it and the resulting product would not be competitive at all. Apple will not even try. They will just wait for Trump to die of old age.
