Trump’s reciprocal tariffs kick in: Pricier phones, laptops in US and stymied global business flows. Smartphones are the largest import from China, with laptops coming in second. If the phones were to be made in the US, they could cost more than three times as much. As the Trump tariffs kick in, makers of computers, consumer electronics and other tech products face the prospect of "demand destruction" curbing sales. Demand destruction is the hot phrase now among Wall Street analysts covering Apple (AAPL), Nvidia (NVDA) and other tech hardware stocks. Demand destruction is the second punch of a double whammy after tariffs increased the cost of selling imported products in the U.S. Manufacturers are likely to pass along those costs to enterprise customers and consumers at higher prices.
