So much energy spent, when all Apple would have to do, is buy the correct coins...or maybe that is the purpose all along.

Buy Samsung instead? They are a foreign corp that makes their products in Korea, so they only currently have 10% tariffs added. They didn't pay a million dollar donation to the inauguration fund, either.
My son (who is 7 and knows already basic maths) can tell you that if a giant production like Apple moves to the US will cost at least 90% or even more to produce. This automatically will make them 110+% more expensive, which will destroy the demand. And who will pay?! The biggest market - USA (~43% as of 2024) Interesting who are the finance advisors of the guy in the white house?!? Good luck!
> ... I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhone’s that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else...
As an Indian, this makes me a bit sad. Less about the fact that iPhone manufacturing in India is threatened, and more about the fact that my loophole of getting cheaper iPhones (via a US relative/friend) is now closed...
I’m starting to think Trump thinks about as deeply about things as a tweet.

The only logical choice for Apple is to pay the 25% tariff.
And the only logical choice for consumers/voters is to decide if they want to support this "tax" and by extension, it's proponent.
The simple fact is that we now live in an interconnected world. It is simply not possible or practical to natively produce everything that goes into an iPhone. Not now, not within the decades to come and probably not ever.
And decrees from the fuhrer and pining for yesteryear won't change this.
