Acer doesn't do final assembly in the US. Many other brands do.

Apple is already shifting a lot of production from China to Vietnam, which hasn't been mentioned as a tariff target yet.

Only about 15% of Apple’s iPhone production is in India with it expected to rise to about 25% over the next few years.

But the administration is likely to impose even higher tariffs on India, so that doesn’t help either.

True.

Those other brands will see price hikes that are slightly lower than 10% then.

And didn’t Apple move iPhone production to India already?

You mean assembled there? Or is at least 51% of it built in Texas?

Just assembled. By Flextronics. It's like an American company registered in Singapore or something.
