Apple is looking to get tariff waivers for iPhone parts, Apple Watch, iMac, AirPods and other products. These tariffs were implemented by U.S. President Donald Trump on $110 billion worth of Chinese imports, starting September 1. The company filed waiver requests on November 31, Thursday, for 11 products and components.

Donald Trump's tariff's on Chinese imports did not have much of an impact on Apple, before September 1. However, the tariffs imposted on September 1, and further tariffs which have been delayed to December 15, are going to hit the company harder, which is why Apple is seeking relief.
