Amid iPhone 17 series launch, how US tariffs, Trump’s ‘Make in US’ demand could jack Apple phone prices to ₹3 lakh
Tech and Electronics Major Apple Inc. will start the latest iPhone series 17 today with several accessories such as AirPods Pro 3 and Apple Watch Ultra 3.
However, there is another feature. In particular, Apple’s production line is largely in China, and with Trump’s tariff attack, he leaned intensively to India facilities to receive demand. But this may change.
The United States President Donald Trump insists that manufacturers start production in the United States instead of China or India. Especially for customers, this can mean everything from 40-50 percent increase to prices and doubles!
Trump management edition for us
According to an EP report, both Trump and US Trade Secretary Howard Lotnick repeated, and thinks that analysts were “unrealistic demand”. From where? First, it would take years to withdraw, and even if it was reached, the cost of a US iPhone will go to a double or even double of the current average price of the iPhone.
In terms of pricing, the rumor is shaking the number closer to previous versions and the basic variant is $ 799 ( La79,900) and price increases for air, pro and pro max models between $ 50-100 for up to $ 1,249 (approximately $ 1,249 La1.45,000).
However, technology analysts, a “full” iPhone’s triple prices for $ 3,500 (around La3.1 Lakh), CNN reported. In addition, CNBC, the cost of labor between China and the United States is dear – $ 40 ( La3,500 per unit in China) – $ 200 ( La17.219) In the United States in the United States – this can inflate the final cost of an iPhone.
Tariff Effect on iPhone Prices: How steep can be?
However, US production is still far away. The tariff effect on cost is still closer. According to a Reuters report, Apple can refer to the customers by referring to the estimates of Rosenblatt Securities, and if all models of all models can jump at least 43 percent.
For the basic model that will rise from $ 799 to $ 1,142 (approximate La1.45.000); Other models increase up to $ 2,300 ( La2 Lakh) From $ 1.249.
In particular, Google did not increase prices in the latest launch of the new Pixel smartphone. Therefore, all eyes will be at the launch event today to see which route of Apple.
