Explains what happened to backstreetboy. also LOL

According to the complaint, the GayCoin crypto-currency arrived with a note saying: "Don't judge until you try".

"I thought, in truth, how can I judge something without trying? I decided to try same-sex relationships," the complainant wrote.

"Now I have a boyfriend and I do not know how to explain this to my parents."

WSJ calculates the impact of tariffs on the iPhone 16 Pro 256GB and it's not a pretty sight

Nintendo postponed the pre-orders for the Switch 2 in the US to try and figure out what to do about the tariffs that President Trump imposed on the two manufacturing hubs that Nintendo relies on – China (54%) and Vietnam (46%). The $450 retail price that was announced initially is quite likely to go up once the pre-orders are rescheduled. Apple makes most of its iPhones in China, but it has been boosting production in India too, including making Pro models for the first time (the tariff on imports from India is “only” 26%).

So, what will Apple do? Cupertino has reportedly been stocking up on inventory to soften the blow of the tariffs. Because once they hit, prices will skyrocket. A new report from The Wall Street Journal with info from iFixit and TechInsights breaks down the price of components for a 256GB iPhone 16 Pro and calculates the impact of the 54% tariff on China.

The total Bill of Materials (BoM) comes out to $549.73 (pre-tariffs) with assembly and testing bringing the cost up to $580. The most expensive components are the rear camera array ($126.95), the A18 Pro chipset ($90.85) and the display ($37.97). The 256GB storage costs $20.59.

At retail, Apple sells a 256GB iPhone 16 Pro for $1,100. However, the tariff isn’t applied to the retail price but rather on the cost of the components. With that, WSJ calculates that the cost to Apple will go up to around $847 – an increase of $300.

Again, the tariff on imports from China is 54%, compared to 26% for India. Apple was wise to diversify its production base, but even if it starts building US iPhones in India, we’re still looking at a hefty increase in costs.

The tariffs will apply to the Bill of Materials rather than the retail price of the device - but even so, the 54% tariff on China will have a massive impact.

New report calculates a 29% price increase for the iPhone 16 Pro Max (1TB) in the US

Analysts are still trying to calculate the impact of tariffs on the US prices of electronics with iPhones typically being used as an example. Yesterday, WSJ calculated that the Bill of Materials for a 256GB iPhone 16 Pro can go up by $300. Now UBS has a report that shows the worst-case scenario – the price increase for a 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max at retail.

Right now, that 1TB model costs $1,600. Earlier estimates claimed that the price will go up to $2,300 - those estimates suggested increases of around 40% for all Apple products made in China.

However, UBS’s report calculates that a 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max manufactured in China can be sold for $2,062 – a 29% increase over the current price. This calculation assumes that the tariff for China stays at the current 54%. However, President Trump has threatened tariffs as high as 104% as a response to China’s retaliatory tariffs.

Apple also manufactures iPhones in India, which would be subject to a 26% tariff if imported into the US. This means that a $1,000 iPhone 16 Pro (128GB) would instead cost $1,120, a 12% increase. Keep in mind that tariffs aren’t applied to the retail price but rather to the price paid by Apple to its manufacturing partners (this is why it would be a 12% increase rather than 26%).

Tarriff-related iPhone price increases estimated to be lower than feared

While the chaos of tariffs will make things unpredictable for some time, the latest analyst guess-work about what an iPhone 16 Pro Max could cost comes in with a much smaller increase in price than previously estimated.
