** Chinese smartphone exports to the US, including Apple’s iPhone, dropped to their lowest point in over a decade this April. The sharp decline highlights how looming US tariffs are squeezing the trade of high-value electronics between China and America, two economic heavyweights whose tensions are reshaping global supply chains.
What This Means: ** This isn’t just about smartphones—it’s a snapshot of how geopolitical friction is hitting everyday commerce. If tariffs keep disrupting tech trade, consumers might see fewer options or higher prices, while companies scramble to adjust their strategies. It’s a reminder that trade wars have real-world consequences, from factory floors to shopping carts.
