The Trump administration’s threat of massive new tariffs has sent Apple Inc.’s share price plummeting, but it also brought a short-term benefit: customers rushing to retail stores to buy iPhones. https://t.co/JC8hxxGkEN

Sunday in Power On: “The tariff on iPhones exported from India is about half of the levy on China. That’s why Apple will increasingly prioritize iPhones from the India supply chain for its US channels.” Apple has been stuffing the channel for weeks. https://t.co/rjmg9eGjpn

NEW: Apple is keeping TikTok on the App Store after it received a letter this weekend from Attorney General Pam Bondi telling it to follow Trump’s executive order extending the pause on a ban by another 75 days. https://t.co/4N7g8voKoP
