Apple and the iphone!

Apple Flew in $2 Billion Worth of iPhones to Dodge Trump’s Tariffs

 

Summary: Facing steep tariffs from President Trump, Apple rushed to import nearly $2 billion worth of iPhones from India in March—its largest shipment ever. The move, involving 600 tons of devices flown into the U.S., was a strategic effort to stockpile inventory before a 26% tariff on Indian imports took effect.

In March, ahead of President Trump’s incoming tariffs, Apple exported roughly $2 billion worth of iPhones from India. This included about $1.31 billion from Foxconn, and around $612 million from Tata Electronics. These are Apple’s two main suppliers in India, and it’s the most Apple has ever imported at once. Even higher than around iPhone launch day in September every year.

Apple chartered cargo flights to bring in 600 tons of iPhones into the US. To ensure that it had sufficient inventory for one of its biggest markets. All due to the fears of Trump’s incoming tariffs. This is all according to US Customs paperwork. Which also highlights that Apple imported iPhone 13, 14, 15, 16, and 16e models.

Currently, the average cost for an iPhone is right around $1,000, according to CIRP. This means that Apple exported around 2 million iPhones from India before these tariffs kicked in.

Apple tried to beat the tariffs ahead of time

Apple, that manufactures almost everything overseas, mainly in China, India, and Vietnam, knew it was going to get hit with tariffs. But they likely weren’t expecting to be hit this hard. President Trump unveiled tariffs on just about every country and island in the world – except for Russia and North Korea. Much more than many were expecting. India got hit with a 26% tariff on imports, and the US is still fighting with China, but currently, their tariff is around 145%.

President Trump has since granted exclusions for many electronics, though he has also said that the exclusions are temporary. He is also looking at imposing tariffs on semiconductors, which would hit Apple pretty hard. Currently, almost all of their chips are manufactured by TSMC in Taiwan. However, they are designed by Apple in Cupertino. Every product that Apple sells has a chipset inside, from the Magic Mouse to the Mac Studio.

Of course, Apple could swallow the tariff increase with ease. But if these tariffs stick around for any length of time, that likely wouldn’t happen. Apple has a ton of cash on hand, last totaled at around $162 billion. So, they aren’t in dire straights, but these tariffs could slow down their sales quite a bit. As people opt to keep devices longer and/or opt for upgrading to cheaper products.

Working out vtrac 114!

  • Sum 16 running track at 11.2%!🤣.

    Sum 16 running track at 11.2%!🤣.

  • ▲▼

    3-Way vtrac, and 6-way!

    Vtrac, 141, 411, 114

    I think that is why, 053, 503, 508, 058 are listed twice.

    I"m not sure.

    Make sense to me.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Tracking will get you straight wins, if you list the permutations that the sets play.

    So, the 503, and 508, will become 6-way sets.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The doubles are 3-way sets.

    003, 300, 030,  008, 080, 800, 585, 558, 855, 355, 535, 553!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    So, this is how I will play this, to win a minimum of  $300 or $600!💸

    I will 50 cent combo the 503, and the 508, which will be $3.00 cost, to win $300.00

    The doubles, I will combo for $1.00 cost, $3.00 to win $600.00.

    $15.00 each draw, "In Store"!💻

    This is a minimum breakdown.

    One more step.  Find the due straight order for each set.

    That will be the set I put more money on.🤣

    The green highlight below, list the most due to the recent hit.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    To be continued!

    I need to search for the 058!

    The doubles, just combo for $3.00 cost.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    You need several resources of data, because, some places do not have the true history.

    Lottery post does.

    For me, it makes a difference when you can get all the available history.

    Just my opinion.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I've been told I do too much, or the workouts are a lot of numbers.

    I am not guessing!

    "I guess that's why we can't numbers"?

    If I don't know what you talking about, and you don't know what I'm talking about"!

    File done.

     

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    If you study one vtrac, it's not a lot of numbers.  This vtrac really has only, 6 sets to work with.

    And, 4 sums!

    It's a lot or too much, if you want to understand what you are looking at, know what you are looking at and what it represent.

    🤣

    Sum 16 running track at 11.2%!🤣.

Sum 13 hit midday today, it's still due evening.

Took a capital L on sum 13.

Played all sets for 3 days, not today.

It's a shame, I posted the 3x4 forgot all about it.

Still playing, 697 for midday draw.

So, anyway, the split pair 3x4 and sum 13 364! for the midday winner.

It might make sense to start combining a few due filters.

Creamy garlic alfredo shells

 

Creamy Garlic Butter Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shells Recipe

Ingredients

  • 12-15 large pasta shells (jumbo size)
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (plus extra for topping)
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta
  2. Boil the jumbo pasta shells in a large pot of salted water until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Filling
  4. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the garlic butter mixture until fully incorporated.
  5. Stuff the Shells
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spoon the chicken filling into each cooked pasta shell, being generous with the portions.
  7. Assemble the Dish
  8. Spread a layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells on top. Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce evenly over the shells, ensuring they are well-coated.
  9. Top and Bake
  10. Sprinkle extra mozzarella cheese over the top. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  11. Garnish and Serve
  12. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Pair with a crisp salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.

Tips for Perfect Stuffed Shells

  • Homemade Alfredo Sauce: For a richer flavor, make your own Alfredo sauce using butter, cream, and freshly grated parmesan.
  • Add Veggies: Sneak in some spinach or broccoli for added nutrients and color.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble the dish ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake. This is perfect for meal prep or entertaining.
