In 2018, some Apple products made in China were affected by the tariffs laid on Chinese imports of states and Apple took the additional cost. In other words, the prices of these products in the United States were the same before and after the definitions entered. As a result, American Apple customers were not affected. Instead, Apple and the stock campaign were on dealing with lower profit margins.

Monster says that regardless of whether Apple or its customers are paying for a tariff, the import tax will have a 4 % negative impact on the profits of the technology giant if imposed on iPhone. Monster says he believes that the Apple Watch models that were produced in China and shipped to the United States will be the first to be affected. It also indicates that most investors believe that Trump will exempt Apple from the import tax.

If Apple divides a tariff on iPhone with consumers, Monster says that the effect on Apple's profits will be 3.5 % negative. This result is calculated by determining that the 10 % customs tariffs on the iPhone would force Apple to raise the price of the device by 5 %, which reduces the demand by 2 % to 3 %. It says iPhone constitutes 43 % of the bottom bottom of Apple.

If Tim Apple cannot work on its usual magic on Trump, it is important to note that 85 % of iPhone units are made in China. But Apple is more than just iPhone. 62 % of its product revenues are from China's devices and can be vulnerable to tariffs.

Apple achieved 93.74 billion dollars in the fiscal year 2024.4 % of this number will be $ 3.75 billion. If Trump imposes a 10 % tariff on iPhone imports from China to the United States, this is how much Apple can cost if the company decides to pay the tax instead of removing its customers according to Monster.
