Those estimates factor in Trump\u2019s newly announced 125% tariff on Chinese imports and 90-day pause on all other \u201creciprocal\u201d tariffs. Before Wednesday\u2019s news, the firm had put those price increases at $675 and $120, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wireless carriers could also offer discounts on previous generation phones to push customers towards older devices that are already in low inventory,<em>&nbsp;<\/em>says Reith. Service providers also typically offer monthly installment payment plans for new phones, which could help relieve some of the cost passed down to consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data from analytics firm Consumer Intelligence Research Partners indicates that 55% of phone buyers in the US \u2013 including those who purchase flip phones and basic mobile phones \u2013 purchase their device through installment plans like these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-apple-could-deal-with-tariffs-in-the-long-term\">How Apple could deal with tariffs in the long term<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump believes iPhone production could move to the US, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday. But the possibility of that seems unlikely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past several years,<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Apple has shifted parts of its supply chain to India and Vietnam to reduce reliance on China. Apple has reportedly been sourcing more of its US-bound iPhones from India instead of China in recent days, according to reports from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/5c4b2bc9-f0ac-46f3-a93b-cfa6273428f9?accessToken=zwAGMl03T-xgkc9cSyvJ8KxG89OpO8-mJzQo-Q.MEQCIBrLklDli9Bb7agFBrW3V7gXe4wx8QUojtKC6gb5QxhtAiBWU4wtuKoO__tABbSnRLCnqTs6ZceNHP35N9XHIU1LSA&amp;sharetype=gift&amp;token=1ca6b1a1-be14-421b-ab4a-8affdfe377df\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Financial Times<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/technology\/mobiles-tabs\/how-apple-flew-5-flights-full-of-iphones-from-india-and-china-in-3-days-to-beat-trump-tariffs\/articleshow\/120044321.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Times of India<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if it shifted production to the US, Apple would likely still source many of its components from Asian countries, as Bank of America analysts wrote in a research note on April 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEverything that\u2019s inside, that still really comes through China,\u201d said Reith. \u201cAnd that\u2019s not going to change anytime soon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building an iPhone in the US would also be more expensive, partially because of higher labor costs, said Willy Shih, a professor of management practice in business administration at Harvard Business School. Bank of America\u2019s research said it would cost roughly 20% more to make an iPhone in the US, while Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives said a US-made iPhone could be&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/04\/09\/tech\/apple-iphones-cost-tariffs-impact-intl-hnk\/index.html\">as pricey as $3,500<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple announced in February that it plans to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/02\/24\/tech\/apple-investment-united-states\/index.html\">invest $500 billion<\/a>&nbsp;in expanding its US footprint. But iPhone factories aren\u2019t part of that commitment; it instead includes new server production facilities to power its Apple Intelligence software features and a Detroit academy to train small businesses on manufacturing techniques, among other plans. And building new facilities could take years, whereas it\u2019s unclear how long Trump\u2019s tariffs will remain in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But a bigger problem than simply building a new factory may be finding Americans who would want to work in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think they would be hard-pressed to get the scale of labor,\u201d said Shih. \u201cThey\u2019d be hard-pressed to find people who are willing to do that type of job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there\u2019s the question of whether Apple could make broader changes to its product launch schedule if the US \u2013 part of the company\u2019s largest market \u2013 becomes increasingly challenging because of tariffs. Doing so could be<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>a potential<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>strategy to mitigate the tariffs\u2019 impact, along with supply chain changes and price increases, Bank of America noted in its April 3 report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple hasn\u2019t mentioned any changes to its product lineup or strategy in response to the tariffs. But Reith said he could see<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>the company adjusting its product launch schedule temporarily, then shifting back to a more regular product launch cycle if tariffs persist \u2013 although this is his opinion, and he hasn\u2019t heard of any plans to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the early days of the pandemic in 2020, for example, Apple announced its new iPhones in October instead of September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEverything is on the table,\u201d Reith said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This story has been updated with additional information and context.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-1026303503\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN- If paying $1,000 for a new iPhone already sounded expensive, consumers should brace for even greater\u00a0sticker shock later this year.
