Photography this: You are browsing accidentally for the latest iPhone 16 Pro MaxEnthusiastic about the battery life and cameras that can discover your pores from space … then discover the mark – $ 2300. Suddenly, your dream phone costs more than just a back and forth ticket to Paris.
Welcome to the new reality, as the uncertainty about the price of the few most popular products in the world, including iPhone, dramatically.
Thanks to a new round of definitions that were put forward, such as updating unwanted programs by the Apple Trump Administration IPhone devices may soon come with an increase of 43 %.
Why?
Exorbitant 54 % import tariff Slide on Chinese goods – where Apple combines most iPhone devices. If Tim Cook decides not to absorb the strike, then who put the bill? This is true – you, me, and every teenager beg for promotion.
To break it:
- The iPhone 16 Pro Max can jump from $ 1,599 to approximately $ 2300
- Even the basic model may enlarge from $ 799 to about $ 1,142
Suddenly, your phone is more expensive than your rent.
244 billion dollars from Apple went to the bottom of the exchange
Investors did not take the news lightly. In fact, they panicked more than one person with a battery of 3 % and there is no charger. As of this week, the maximum Apple market decreased by more than 244 billion dollars, which led to a decrease to $ 3.06 trillion.
This is more than the annual GDP of countries like Brazil.
One analyst mocked, “At this rate, Apple may start selling iPhone devices on EMI … for 10 years.“
Not just an American problem
Now, you may read this news sitting somewhere in a non -American city, and thinking that Americans are paying the apple tax.
But what? If Apple compensates for the cost worldwide, iPhone prices may rise everywhere – India, Europe and Australia – because the cost of production does not care about the borders. The high prices in the United States may force the alignment of global prices, which means that your cousin in Mumbai may also affect the elegant glass board.
Here’s Kicker: Apple B plan – to transfer manufacturing to India or Vietnam – don’t look too hot either. Vietnam faces a 46 % tariff, and India slapped by 27 %. In addition, the infrastructure (so far) has no millions of iPhone devices with TIM Cook polishing.
Therefore, the next time you discover someone using the latest iPhone, do not ask about the form. Just tend to whisper, “respect. I have done it.“
