iPhone 25% tariff would only add $4-$6 a month to the average price of an iPhone in the US.
• In my recent briefings with high level former US trade officials, the market appears to be miscalculating the impact of an iPhone 25% tariff. In reality, it would increase the price by something closer to 14%.
• The tariff is calculated on the cost of an iPhone coming into the US, which is on average $560. That means a 25% tariff would increase the retail price by $140.
• Today, the average price in the US is $970, and it would go to $1,110, a 14% increase, if Apple passed the full tariff to consumers (which they likely would not).
• My take: That increase of $140 is 80% of the time, spread out over 24 or 36 months via carrier contract. That means the price for the average iPhone buyer would increase by only $4 to $6 a month.
• If Apple were to absorb the tariff, it would likely lower overall gross margins from 44% today to about 41 percent, around a similar 7% decline.

Wish I was joking but… I needed to get the X-rays they took of my shoulder in the ER over to my orthopedist and they told me to come pick up a ‘floppy disk’ with the images. ER is Mt Sinai in NYC, they use Epic. Ortho is at NYU.
Founders + investor, please keep investing in healthcare solutions - we need to fix this.

1/6 Excited for the @GVteam to be celebrating 15 years but it would have been nice to see the actual founding story told vs the distorted version in the Fortune article. Here is my abbreviated version of the founding, lots of other fun details to save for another telling

Dan (@dschol ) was one of the earliest people I met in my career. For the past 20 years he has been a huge support to me.
When he was diagnosed with a stage 4 glioma I was shocked and devastated. He’s fighting with everything he has. If you are an entrepreneur working on this area, apply to YC! If you aren’t, please help spread this call to apply. 🙏
The rate of gliomas— or brain cancer— is exploding. Over the last ten years, there have been 5x as many cases.
There's so much more that we could do against this disease, and we'd love to be a part of the fight against it. @SurbhiSarnaSF

As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.
