Highlights
- The prices of iPhone may increase.
- Trump’s tariff stir in technology market.
- Scheme to increase iPhone production in India.
New Delhi. The attack of Tariff of American Rashtrapati Donald Trump has started harassing everyone. Trump has increased the tariff on many products imported from India and China, including the iPhone. This means that iPhone prices may increase. In this regard, DTDC CEO Abhishek Chakraborty said at the Rising India Summit 2025 that the prices of iPhone could increase significantly due to Trump’s tariff on India.
Let us know that US President Donald Trump has implemented new competitive fees on more than 180 countries. India, which currently produces up to 15% of Apple’s iPhones, is now facing 26% US fee. Although it is 54% (now 104%!) Of China and less than 46% of Vietnam, it can cause immediate problems. By the way, it can prove beneficial for India over time. Because to prepare your products in India for Apple, it will be more comparatively cheap.
Apple has a lot of way
Apple has broken to face these increased features. Apple has made it strategic that it accelerates iPhone exports to the US from India to reduce the financial impact of increased fees on Chinese products.
How much increase in fee
The US has implemented a universal import duty of 10 percent, as well as additional duty for some countries. India is suffering a lot of damage to this, as its exports to the US have been charged 26 percent, which is more than the fees levied on other Asian countries like Japan and South Korea. If the Apple puts the increased cost on the customers, the price of the premium iPhone 16 Pro Max can reach about $ 2,300. This price in Indian currency will be more than Rs 1.9 lakh.
India has established itself as the second most important production site of Apple, which is currently handling 10–15% of the global iPhone assembly, and is intended to increase it to 25% by 2025. However, it seems uncertain to achieve this goal due to the current circumstances.
