Last week, I told you how President Donald Trump is planning (which is characterized by a genius or Harbrune plan that was randomly designed and implemented) The next iPhone price can be raised. The assembled and shipping of the device in China will face a 54 % tariff, which is just an import tax imposed on the goods shipped from China to the United States, there is already 20 % tariff for China, which increased by 34 % of the tax imposed on American imports from the country announced last week.
Rosenblatt Securities has carried out some calculations and found that with a new tariff imposed on China, the start price The iPhone 16 will increase by 43 % to $ 1,142 from $ 799. The most expensive Apple smartphones, The iPhone 16 Pro Max with 1 TB of Storage, its price increases from $ 1,599 to $ 2,300. But we can be more high in iPhone.
This morning, President Trump threatened China with an additional 50 % tariff if the country does not retreat from the 34 % mutual tariffs that put it on American imports in the country. The reaction in Wall Street was a significant decrease in seconds. Industrial DOW 30 industrial average, which has already decreased 500 points at the time, fell 300 points in seconds, and Apple shares, which recovered from their lowest levels early in the morning, decreased, another $ 8 in seconds.
If Trump continues his threat, the 104 % tariff in China can send the most expensive iPhone towards a sign of $ 3000. Of course, Apple can decide to take all the additional tax and maintain prices as it is, but this decrease in profit margins may lead to an arrow. Apple opened today at $ 177.24, up to $ 174.62, and rises to 194.14 dollars, and at 2:06 pm, EST is trading at $ 180.73.
There is one arrow that shows the strength today in the wireless industry and that is T-Mobile that was traded on the positive side of most of the day. From Monday noon, the second largest wireless company in the country rose to approximately $ 2.
Trump’s plan is to force commercial partners in the United States to negotiate commercial deals with the United States, which would remove customs tariffs from both sides and end what the president sees as unfair restrictions on American goods. The question is whether these deals can be reached before definitions create economic issues that will lead to stagnation or depression.
For those who indicate that Apple can make iPhone devices in other countries, Trump’s tariff affects Vietnam, India and other places where Apple already builds iPhone and other devices. Even if the penguins knew how to assemble iPhone devices, Trump has imposed a customs tariff on the island of Herd and the McDonald islands that have no skin. These islands are inhabited by a large number of penguins who consider the workers of the bad association’s line.
