Apple's AirPods Will Not Escape Trump's China Tariffs

Reuters

   SAN FRANCISCO - Apple's AirPods, Apple Watch and HomePod, which have
   helped the company offset waning sales of its bestselling iPhone this
   year, are not included in a temporary reprieve on tariffs by the Trump
   administration and will face a 10% levy on Sept 1.

   The administration said on Tuesday that some major items, such as
   laptops and cellphones, including Apple's MacBooks and iPhones, will
   not face tariffs until Dec. 15.

   President Donald Trump said the change was to avoid an impact on U.S.
   customers during the Christmas shopping season. The tariff delay that
   affects some of Apple's biggest-selling products helped send its shares
   up more than 4% in late trading.
