In response to the U.S. tariff policy, which took effect on April 5, 2025, $Apple(AAPL)$ chartered planes to rush the iPhones back to the US, saving $8 billion.

U.S. President Trump believes that Apple could move its iPhone production to the U.S. to avoid the new round of tariffs.

Needham analyst Laura Martin stated that if Apple starts manufacturing its iconic iPhones in the U.S., costs would rise significantly. Apple’s stock price dropped sharply as investors became concerned that President Donald Trump's tariff policy would cause a major increase in costs.

If Apple passes the tariff costs onto consumers, the price of iPhones could increase by 30%-40%. Now, some are starting to wonder if it's the right time to buy the iPhone 16 Pro at a discount.

If the iPhone price increases by 30%, would you still buy it?

Would you buy the iPhone 16 now?

If Apple manufactures in the U.S., does it mean that Apple's sales will significantly decline?

    if cost of goods increase, I will think very carefully before buying anything. my hand phone I will use longer and avoid buying new ones so soon.  I guess a recession is coming soon. [LOL] [Facepalm]

    理论上,是的,因为Iphones是一种奢侈品,高价格增强了排他性。

    我不认为苹果能够在美国生产iphones,不过,缺乏适当的供应链之前已经被多次提及。如果他们可以,我可以想象广告;Iphone,在美国手工制作,为美国人服务。$5000.

    Look for alternative brands. So easy to find much cheaper & better phones to change.

    Apple will go up big time on Monday because of Trump’s flip flop on tariff.
