I'm assuming that's due to those phones already sitting in an American warehouse, so they're not subject to tariffs.

Sure, but companies are bound to make the price adjustment to begin paying for the tariffs immediately. They aren't going to wait for specific units of inventory to make their way all they way through the supply chain.

This is the truth. Why on earth would they wait? You think they go have consciences?

I’m familiar with the industry, from my experience some manufacturers give 60 day notice before price increases hit retails stores. So we’ll probably see the bulk of the increases during the summer.

Car manufacturers already raised prices for cars sitting on the lot, in anticipation of the tariffs. Doesn't matter that they were imported beforehand.
