First, CNBC reports that the $100 billion U.S. investment increase (over four years) announcement is currently scheduled for 4:30 ET today. Apple CEO Tim Cook is expected to appear alongside President Trump at what is said to be a televised event out of the Oval Office at the White House.

Here’s how India tariffs could affect Apple and iPhone production

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-12-05 12:12:32

Shifting final assembly of Apple products like iPhone from China to India has helped Apple avoid costly tariffs in the United States. But what happens when the US imposes similar tariffs in India to those seen in China? While the risk is present, analyst Gene Munster doesn’t see it as catastrophic for the cost of the iPhone. Munster set the stage this week for the situation as it develops: This morning on Squawk Box, President Trump suggested tariffs on India may be going up soon. He commented

Charter Planes and Bidding Wars: How Bitcoin Miners Raced to Beat Trump’s Tariffs

wired.com Joel Khalili 2025-12-06 04:00:00

Twelve minutes after midnight on April 8, a Boeing 777-300ER barreled down a runway at Singapore Changi Airport. In its belly, it carried precious cargo: 3,000 kilograms of specialized bitcoin mining equipment bound urgently for New York. As the plane took to the sky, staff at US-based Luxor Technology could begin to relax. The company, which trades bitcoin mining hardware and provides related software services, was importing the equipment on behalf of a client. The flight’s departure from Sing

US iPhones: ‘Made in India’, built in China

Apple may say that most iPhones sold in the U.S. are now assembled in India, but that doesn’t necessarily mean Apple has reduced its reliance on China. Patrick McGee, who literally wrote the book on Apple in China, explains. For the last two quarters, Apple CEO Tim Cook has noted that iPhones sold in the U.S. are sourced from India. The move, of course, allows Apple to avoid those pesky Trump tariffs on products exported from China and sold in the United States. Responding to a technically tru

A Side Effect of Trump's Tariffs: Making Ozempic Way More Expensive

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-11 20:38:25

President Donald Trump's new European tariffs may spell bad news for Novo Nordisk, maker of Ozempic and Wegovy. As Axios reports, the 15 percent tariffs he's levying on goods imported into the United States from the European Union are likely to drive up already-expensive drug prices for the blockbuster weight loss jabs, which can already cost more than $1,300 per month's supply without insurance. Slated to go into effect on August 7, this new agreement doesn't just target pharmaceuticals. Stil

Fujifilm is raising camera prices by up to $800

theverge.com Jacob Kastrenakes 2025-12-12 03:16:36

Fujifilm has raised prices on cameras and lenses across its lineup, with price hikes reaching into the hundreds of dollars. Among the hikes is an increase to the price of Fuji’s ultra-popular X100VI from $1,599 to $1,799. The capable X-T5 has gone from $1,699 to $1,899. And the already very expensive GFX100 II has gone from $7,499 to $8,299 — an $800 increase. Increases to lens prices appear to be somewhat more modest, with bumps in the $50 to $150 range.

Why Nintendo didn’t raise the price of the Switch 2 (yet)

Just about every piece of hardware that Nintendo sells is getting a little more expensive in the US — with the exception of the Switch 2. That includes all models of the original Switch, a bunch of accessories, and even a motion-activated alarm clock. The changes were made ahead of sweeping Trump administration tariffs that are scheduled to go into effect in August, and they show Nintendo is leaning on a strategy that it has employed across its business: largely avoiding risk.

US President Donald Trump just dealt another blow to the embattled ecommerce industry, which is still reeling from sweeping tariffs Trump announced in the spring. On Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order widening the impact of those tariffs and making it more expensive for Americans to buy foreign products on sites like eBay, Etsy, and Amazon.

Vietnam, the world’s second-largest exporter of coffee, is known for growing robusta beans.

Josh Hawley Wants to Send Out Rebate Checks So Americans Can ‘Benefit’ From Trump’s Tariffs

President Trump’s tariffs have generated around 20 billion dollars in revenue for the U.S. government, although it’s worth noting that a vast majority of this wealth has been derived from import duties on American businesses. In other words, Americans are paying the federal government (many critics have noted that tariffs are just taxes by another name) for the pleasure of doing business with foreign exporters.
