I don't think we care about tariffs. I think we care if our own government is selling a device that is not made by it's own citizens.
I support this action, if the phone itself is made in America. The retail price should absolutely be $499, while the true cost should be subsidized by the government. You want to bring tech back to the states, you eat the $4000 per phone cost and you charge $499. Suddenly Samsung and Apple will offer a made in USA phone for $399. Further, those companies making the phones getting the subsidy should get a tax exemption on any other phones they make and sell in the states. I would absolutely buy a $999 american made phone over a $799 chinese manufactured device.
One can only hope though
