Apple’s Q3 tends to be quieter than the rest since holiday sales are long over and spring releases don’t always drive the market, but 2025 has something the others didn’t — Trump tariffs. Apple shared that it expected to take at least a $900 million hit to its bottom line if nothing changed from March.
Things did change, however, as the Trump administration agreed to back off its seemingly random “reciprocal” tariffs for 90 days as deals were worked out. However, the tariffs left in place were still magnitudes higher than what was in place before Trump took office in January.
