The biggest problem with the tariff policy is not the cost or even the uncertainty, it's the corruption. A single person should not have the power to dictate the terms of trade, because the rational play in such a system is for businesses that rely on trade to pander to that person, and that's corrupt.
It is useful for the president to have emergency powers. However he should have been impeached for abusing emergency powers in a non-emergency. Same for his invasion of Iran - Iran has been building long enough that he had plenty of time to go to Congress for permission if he thought attacks were needed.

Any company should definitely be planning for the inevitable decline or elimination of China as a production and/or trading partner. If not caused by politics, then by demographic crash.
I'm curious why you think China will decline or be eliminated, I always thought that China was a reliable as a production/trading partner and that they planned for decades ahead with programs like Belt and Road Initiative unlike western politics that only looks as far as the next election. Very open to correction on this though, thinking about it not sure what formed my opinion on this.

Very little uses crystal oscillators, they’re gigantic compared with electronics today and have very wonky performance over temperature and shock.

#94What is with the phrase "increase spend"? It just seems gramatically .... off. Why not say "Apple partners with Broadcom to produce billions more US chips".
I think it just means they had been partnering in the past and now they're expanding it with more investment.

If you find that fascinating already... did you know that all cellphones use mechanical filters in the GHz range ? They combine very good performance with very low energy consumption. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_acoustic_wave https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akustische-Oberfl%C3%A4chenwel... (pictures)
Honestly, the "HF physics is black magic" trope has made me numb to the phantastical contraptions. I appreciate when they look cool, like esoteric orgon wave radiators.

As you wrote it, it could be an IP partnership, Apple opening a fab, or something else.

#100This isn't exactly new [1] ( Apple announces multibillion-dollar deal with Broadcom for components made in the USA ), and this was in 2023.
I am not exactly sure what is the timing of this for. Why now?
