Apple Customers Rush to Buy iPhones Amid Fears Tariffs Could Cause Price Hikes

Quick Summary:

According to The Times of India, Apple shipped five planes full of iPhones and other devices from India to the U.S.during the final week of March, while also bringing in iPhones from China during what is traditionally a slow time.

Earlier today, The Wall Street Journal said that Apple would mitigate some of the tariff impact by importing more iPhones to the U.S.from India, as India has a lower tariff rate than China.

Multiple Apple employees that spoke to Bloomberg said their stores have been packed with customers "panic-buying" iPhones.
