Finally americans will experience expensive electronics. I guess nobody in US realize how much more expensive is electronics for people in EU.
Every electronics is more expensive by hundreds of EUR and with added bonus, the price is same for every country in EU, which in turn means when you live in EU country where median salary is 5x lower than US, you will have great time buying electronics, steam games, etc.
The most expensive electronics the typical American experiences is often their phone, and I think this won't matter too much, because I believe a majority of people basically get them on an installment plan from their cellular carrier. They'll own the phone in 4 years instead of 2, but they probably would have upgraded to a new phone in 2 years and would have been paying the $200/mo. anyway.
Timing is good for phone makers here honestly because phone innovation is slowing down so high prices for the same stuff can be blamed on tarriffs instead of lack of innovation.
The second most expensive electronics would be game systems, and that'll be painful, but I do wonder if e.g. Nintendo would pair with cellular companies and do installment plans like phones, and/or if PS/Xbox would try to do something similar with ISPs (e.g. AT&T Gamer Deal) or rent their consoles instead of selling them.
Gamer PCs are gonna take a serious hit though, and the price of individual games is certain to increase.
