Apple iPhone: Donald Trump’s tariff policy is once again in the headlines and this time the target is Apple’s iPhone. The ‘Risiprockle Tariff’ imposed by the President of America has increased the possibility of trade world war. According to reports, if Apple puts this additional cost on the users, then the price of a high-end iPhone can reach about $ 2,300.
The manufacturing of the iPhone is mainly in China where a huge tax of 54% has been imposed. In such a situation, there are only two ways in front of Apple, either take this burden yourself or put it on the customers’ pockets.
iPhone prices may have a huge boom
According to the information, due to Trump’s policy, the prices of iPhone can be seen by 30 to 40 percent. For example, the iPhone 16, which was launched in $ 799, can now reach $ 1,142. At the same time, the price of iPhone 16 Pro Max can go around $ 2,300. Not only this, the cheapest model of iPhone iPhone 16E can also increase from $ 599 to $ 856. Not only iPhone, other Apple devices can also be expensive.
Apple’s increased difficulties
Angelo Zino, expert of CFRA Research, believes that Apple will be able to put only 5 to 10 percent cost on customers. The company is currently not going to launch a major change in prices. Even though Apple is shifting some construction in countries like India and Vietnam, but there are also tax from 26% to 46%, which is not reducing the cost.
Apple’s big investment in America
Amidst all this, Apple has announced an investment of $ 500 billion in the US in the next four years. CEO Tim Cook said, “We will invest in American and will further strengthen the future of the country with this investment.” But it will be interesting to see if this investment will be able to stop the sky -touched prices of the iPhone.
