I’m genuinely surprised Trump killed the CHIPS act, when he could’ve let that roll through and taken credit for it as the whole POINT of that was to improve US manufacturing.
Also reintroduce the build back better with whatever re-branding.
If he were truly interested in american manufacturing he’d have gone all in on these.
But no. he wants company owners and worldl eaders to come to him and beg for exemptions.

Good luck getting all the materials needed for that now that China has stopped exports to the US.

Physical keys and what looks like a headphone jack? Seems like an upgrade

Only $4000 for the entry model. That how much is costs once the tariffs on the semiconductors has been covered, the salaries high enough to motivate people to willingly work the assembly lines now that immigrant workers are gone, and the markup needed to cover the cost of completely creating an entire supply chain from scratch as well as paying back the insane debt that results from the outrageous high risk investments this would require and that frankly no investor would want to touch with a 10 foot pole.

That is before Apple levels of profit added on, right? Otherwise that seems a bit low.

That would be the first iPhone I’d actually buy.

$76.999 price will surely stop you.

If they slap an Apple logo on it the gullible sheep would buy it anyway.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.
I’d looooove a return of the brick phone. Modern phones feel small and dainty in my giant hands. Meanwhile, battery life absolutely sucks. I’d love a modern brick phone that does calls, text and nothing else. And a battery life of a fulm week.

I’ll take my Motorola Razr back from the early 00s.
Whether I do Captain Kirk impressions with it in the privacy of my own home is my business…
