Apple CEO Tim Cook recently presented President Trump with a special gift during discussions about Apple's U.S. manufacturing plans. The gift, a custom-made item with the president's name and the title "Apple American Manufacturing Program", has sparked speculation about its significance.
There have been reports about the implications of Apple shifting its production to the U.S. Some analysts suggest that an American-made iPhone could cost up to $3,000, while others believe it's unlikely due to potential high costs. Meanwhile, rivals like Samsung have already moved production out of China to avoid tariffs.
It remains unclear how Cook's gift to Trump will impact Apple's manufacturing decisions and the ongoing tariff situation. This gesture comes amid efforts to showcase Apple's commitment to U.S. manufacturing and navigate the challenges posed by trade policies.
