Apple iPhone: US President Donald Trump has recently decided to impose heavy tariffs on many countries around the world. Since this decision, the trade of many countries has been affected. According to experts, iPhone can be quite expensive with this tariff. It is possible to increase from 30% to 40% after tariff in iPhone prices. In such a situation, it is believed that after this tariff in Pakistan, the price of the iPhone can also cross Rs 10 lakh. Let’s know its complete calculation.

IPhone is made in China

According to the information, most iPhones are still made in China, on which the US has imposed a tariff of 54%. If this tariff remains, then there are two options left in front of Apple, the company either bear the additional cost itself or charged the price from the customers. Due to this, Apple’s shares fell 9.3% on Thursday, which was the worst day since March 2020.

Apple sells about 22 million iPhones every year and its major markets are America, China and Europe. The cheapest model of iPhone 16 was launched in the US in $ 799 but according to experts of Roseblat SECURITES, this price can reach $ 1,142 with an increase in prices of 43%. At the same time, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which is currently priced at $ 1,599, which is likely to reach about $ 2,300.

Prices can go beyond Rs 10 lakh in Pakistan

However, Apple has shifted some production to Vietnam and India. Nevertheless, most iPhones are still made in China. Vietnam has been imposed on 46% and 26% tariffs on India, due to which the production of iPhone can now be expensive in these countries. On the other hand, companies like Samsung, which are relatively low tariffs, can benefit in this situation. According to the information, now if Apple creates an iPhone in America, then the cost of a device can be $ 3,500 (ie more than 10 lakh Pakistani rupees).

Dan Iaves of Wedbush Securities has warned that Trump’s tariff scheme can push the tech sector back a decade. He says that this policy can prove dangerous for America’s technology growth and AI revolution.
