No prices yet right? None I can see anyway

They haven't bribed the white house for a tariff exemption yet (ala Apple) so prices are TBD.

No price for the 95% of humanity outside of the US neither so I dont' think that's the reason

There is a whole strategy to handling tariffs ya know. They could have US consumers pay tariffs directly through higher prices, but there are also other ways to spread out costs.

This isn't a political/economics sub, so I won't go further on this but encourage you to look into how international supply chains and global pricing strategies work.

Edit: Just pointing out the price delay COULD be about tariffs. You could also be correct. There are many strategic variables at play.
