Checked pricing on new iPhones with my carrier this morning and was stunned that they hadn't been increased. In the meantime, just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Also, the reciprocal tariffs agreement between China, Japan and South Korea against the US pretty much guarantees smart phones will be pretty spendy once this gets rolling.

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?
