Trump's taxing problem: The end of 'affordable' iPhones

Actually it might bring the opposite

I mean for many companies import duties won't actually matter. Large International corporations surely will find ways to dodge any import duty, as they can simply avoid crossing US borders.

There might be another point. Large companies might move out of the US and set their headquarters somewhere else. Some highly qualified employees might move them, while others might simply quit... bringing a lot more decently qualified people on the "market". They might perhaps found their own company, or work at another company raising the average of skill there.

In any case, there is not much telling what Trump will actually do.
