President Trump threatens Apple with a 25% tariff if iPhones are not made in the US, prompting concern about political pressure.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that Apple should absorb the tariff as it's more profitable than producing in the US due to high costs.
Apple is expanding iPhone production in India due to the US-China trade war, drawing Trump's criticism and pressure to bring production back.
Kuo advises Apple to focus on negotiating with Trump to avoid tariffs rather than moving production to the US, as political pressure remains a concern.
