Unhappy with Apple moving iPhone production to India to skirt tariffs imposed on China, President Trump threatened Apple twice that the iPhone could be subject to tariffs, with the latest warning dropping a few days ago. Trump said that iPhones sold in the US that are not made in the US will see a 25% tariff. Trump said that if iPhones aren't made in the US, "a tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the US." Making an affordable iPhone in the US is simply not possible. Many have discussed this matter during April, when Trump's tariff announcements shook the world, sending stocks tumbling down. Renewing threats of new tariffs won't make it any easier for Apple to overcome many of the problems that make manufacturing iPhones in the US a problem. Also, if Apple ends up paying that 25% tariff to the US for all iPhones coming to America from India and China, it's very likely that Apple will pass on that extra cost to iPhone buyers. Various insiders, including the well-known Ming-Chi Kuo, say it's cheaper for Apple to continue making iPhones in India for the US market and deal with the tariffs later. In such a case, the more expensive iPhone would also be cheaper for the consumer looking to buy a new device than an iPhone made in America. Whatever the case, the iPhone 17 series will be more expensive than the iPhone 16 models. Also, it's not just Apple that will be hit with tariffs in the near future. Trump said that Samsung and anybody else importing iPhones in the US will see similar tariffs. That means the Galaxy S26 series, due to launch in early 2026, will also bring price hikes that Samsung can't possibly escape. Continue reading...
