First Count: 700 dollars for iPhone due to Trump

The iPhone is an international product. Components are manufactured in many countries – including Taiwan or Germany – to be composed in China or India. Under Donald Trump, the US government’s new tariffs become a real problem for Apple. If the group struggles against an American trade war with China during the first term, the whole world is now getting affected. Strategy, such as rapid manufacturing in India, no longer works. Now the question is what it means for iPhone prices, especially in the most important market, the United States-and thus the house of Apple. While the first analysts thought that everything was not as bad after the announcement of customs tariffs, new horror numbers came over the weekend.

Apple cannot move the supply chain

Investment company Rousnbal Securities hopes that the price of the most expensive iPhone 16 (maximum with 1 TB) to grow from the current $ 1, $ 2300 if the Apple does not give parts of its margin. Overall, the price increase estimates up to 43 percent. From an iPhone 16 Pro, 1400 instead of $ 1, from an iPhone 16E 850 instead of $ 600. To compensate to a large extent of tariffs, the group will have to increase at least 30 percent on an average according to market experts, so not on a large scale.

Apple does not have a direct option unless the group has a Trump government. Although he could build the final assembly in the United States – as Apple and his next one -time acquisition – he could still be a component from all over the world, as the supply chain is missing in the United States.

High labor cost

Labor costs are also high, which is probably not high, but the imaginary American iPhone does not make it cheaper. Vietnam was specially captured with 46 percent, China was 54 percent and even higher. India is still comparatively behaved comparatively at 26 percent.
