- President Trump has threatened Apple with a 25%tariff, since he does not make his devices in the United States.
- This could see a price increase for iPhones, iPads, Mac and more
- Trump proposes a 50% tariff on the goods of the European Union, which could also have a reduction effect on product prices.
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said he is “recommending” a 50% rate on the European Union as of June 1. And these rates could affect Apple, since it does not manufacture its iPhones and other devices in the United States.
“A long time ago I informed Tim Cook from Apple that I hope that his iPhone that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not in India, or elsewhere,” Trump published in his social media site Truth. “If that is not the case, a rate of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the US. Thank you for your attention on this matter!”
If such a rate is concretized, the cost of the iPhones could increase to compensate for the highest tariffs.
Even if Apple changed its manufacture of wholesale iPhones to the US. Therefore, that could also see that Apple needs to increase the price of its products, both existing and probable.
It is likely that Big Apple’s next product releases are the iPhone 17 and the so -called iPhone 17 Air. If the Trump administration pursues these rates, then both phones could have a launch price that will even paint the most dedicated iPhone fans.
We have approached Apple to comment, but we still don’t receive a company’s response.
Turbulent tariffs
While the Trump administration retired from some of its most aggressive proposals, which stopped for 90 since the beginning of April, given the great agitation of the market they caused; A remarkable example was that the early orders of the United States.
The reciprocal tariffs of the nations affected by Trump’s tariffs caused a great interruption in the markets, and although things went out in later weeks, there are still tariffs on the table that could make it difficult to do business with the United States is difficult for companies based in other nations.
Samsung’s tastes have a great presence in the US., But the South Korean company manufactures its devices outside the United States and Trump’s traffic could make the importation of the Galaxy S25 and the probable next Samsung Galaxy S26 are more expensive. A possible effect of that would be for Samsung to increase the prices of its devices, and the in a profitable way is transferred to consumers.
With the inflation that causes the cost of all types of products, it increases, with Trump’s rates, we could see that technology prices increase. So, my suggestions is to use the offers of the Fallen Day, while you can still obtain acceptable prices devices.
Of course, the consequences of this could be too difficult to swallow so that Trump can end without seeing such threats, especially against Apple, since it is one of the United States billion companies.
