President Trump said that iPhones sold in the US that are not made in the U.S. will see a 25% tariff.

Apple is already paying tariffs on different products, including the iPhone 17 and iPhone 5.

If Apple moves iPhone assembly back to the US , Trump can promote it as a major “ Made in America ” achievement and key policy win.

The AI said the iPhone should be up to $50 more expensive so Apple can compensate for that lost revenue. That scenario did not involve iPhone, iPad , or Mac tariffs. Finally, I’ll also point out recent reports that predate Trump ’s iPhone tariff threat. They said Apple is already looking at raising iPhone 17 costs and figuring out ways to explain the price hike without blaming tariffs. If Trump ’s proposed 25% tariff happens, there’s no way for Apple to justify price hikes without blaming the tariffs..
