I think your estimate is flawed. The article does state $3500, but that's consumer cost. The profit margin would already be baked into that. Barring a democracy-ending chain of events in the US, Apple wouldn't even have time to move manufacturing to the US in a meaningful enough way to get to this price point before the end of 47's term. $2000 iPhones with baked in consumer taxes (tariffs)? Absolutely, though.
