Apple quickly shipped 600 tons of iPhones to ‘beat’ the new tariffs


That’s about 1.5 million iPhones.

Meanwhile, Nikkei Asia reports Apple, Dell, Microsoft, and Lenovo were pressing to ship as many “premium” devices as possible, like high-priced computers above $3,000 that would see the biggest price increases under the new tariffs. According to Reuters, the company lobbied officials to speed up customs clearance, added workers, and temporarily kept its plant in India running on Sunday to achieve a 20 percent increase in production. Meanwhile, Samsung is reducing smartphone component orders for the middle of 2025, while some PC makers like Lenovo and Acer are indicating they’ll increase output focus for non-US markets.
