During the last days, Apple stores have been “looted” by brand lovers who, given the uncertainty generated by the commercial war against the United States, have chosen to buy new products that were in mind to avoid paying the additional cost overrun. This is because, the prices of the company’s technological devices could be radically affected by the tariffs announced by the leader of the USA, Donald Trump. However, with the “90 -day fire” notified in recent times by himselfwhich paralyze the application of the pre -established percentages to all countries except China, restlessness is even greater.
The reality is that everyone is as uncertain as it seems, then, today companies focus their commercial activity in various points organized in different countries. Therefore, if these tariffs are carried out, large companies would be seen in a somewhat complex position to solve, since a change in production infrastructure is an investment to pay that not all can be allowed. For now, With this sudden pause authorized by the president of the United States, nothing seems to change in this area among multinationals that produce and market this kind of articles.
Therefore, once the consequences arrive, when this period concludes if everything follows its course, where we are going to suffer these increases is in the electronic devices market and, in general, in the technological sector. This is because brands such as Apple concentrate its production in different countries that, casually, are the most affected by the tariff percentages from the United States. Among these territories are nations like China, which It currently has 145% tariffs imposed by Trumpaccording to the latest updates, since, it is the only country excluded from the three -month pause.
The possible “new prices” of the iPhone
Although as already analyzed, there seems to be no true and, in this way, all figures are subject to last minute changes, lThe experts estimate the iPhone increase between 30 and 40% of the current sale price. Although, in case of modification of these estimates, everything indicates that it will be upward reaching unpublished figures that will be a precedent on mobile phones. This is a consequence that, about 90% of Apple’s production is prepared in China, the main commercial rival of Americans.
On the other hand, the production of many of the components of the Apple world occur in countries such as India, which currently has 26%, or Vietnam, with 46% of tariffs. However, these two countries are within the momentary pause. Therefore, it is possible that the measures of the company fall entirely on the consumer that must pay the corresponding part in the event that you want to acquire products from its catalog. In the counterpart, It is possible for the company to take letters in the matter and try to give up the benefit I received previously to receive minor profits with the amounts of the now.
The consequences of tariffs in Apple
Apple, formerly the predictions of the commercial war, He already approved a project of 500,000 million dollars to transfer part of his production to the largest country in North America. However, this figure is not enough to solve the difficult situation they face. In addition, the total change of production is idyllic, since a much higher investment should be paid. Although, in recent years, sales of these devices have decreased significantly, loyalty with their consumers still endures. But, with these new tariffs, added to those established in response to the US president by the rest of adverse powers, they must make a commercial decision in this regard.
