US tariffs on Apple products cause stock plunge; impact on Asian manufacturing.

US reciprocal tariffs caused Apple's stock to plummet, its largest drop in five years. Tariffs range from 24% to 54% on Apple's Asian production hubs in China, India, and Vietnam. China faced the highest levy, impacting iPhone production. Apple lost an estimated $250 billion in market value.
