Oh, good question. By the way, we should say Apple is an NPR sponsor. OK, so... Let me summarize. Brian is wondering, should he buy himself a new iPhone now and avoid the price potentially going up because of a future tariff, which, as we know, is basically an import tax? Is that right?

Ah, yes. OK. So maybe Brian doesn't need to get a new iPhone yet because if iPhones didn't get a tariff last time, possibly they won't get one this time.

Got it. OK. India and Vietnam. But who knows? Maybe Trump will put tariffs on products coming from Vietnam or India or from anywhere or from everywhere. So what is a listener like Brian supposed to do? Could he just like wait a little bit longer? He didn't really need that new iPhone. I mean, how different is the new iPhone really? Come on, let's be honest here.
