Not correct. Once again, tariffs only affect imported goods. If you buy an iPhone built in China (assuming you import to the US) you're going to pay a tariff on the device.

If you buy a phone built in America, with Chinese processors, you only pay tariff on the processor.

Read all of the comments here. I'm not disagreeing that it would drive prices up, I'm disagreeing that there would be tariffs on American products, because that's not how tariffs work.

If you manufacture the product in the US, you need to pay 100% tariffs for all the chips.

Incorrect. Once again, tariffs are only for imported products. That's how tariffs work.

Yes, and since those products are only imported, it won't affect US products, like I said.

I agree but that's not what we were discussing

I honestly don't get whatever "it" is. Again, if you don't understand what a tariff is, it's very simple to look it up. Don't take my word for it.

WTF are you talking about? Did you not go to elementary school?

The tariffs only apply to the imported products. That's how tariffs work. If you import components into a US product then you only pay the tariff on those components, not the entire product.

Why wouldn't I be serious? If they're manufactured outside the US then they're obviously not manufactured in the US?
