Trump Shocker: iPhone prices may go up to $3500?

The President of United States, Donald Trump recently made a big vocal reprimanded to Apple as he warned about possible implementation of 25% tariff. He threatened apple about this tariff if they do not change their operations and stop the manufacturing units in India and permanently moved to the United States. However, it is now being reported that this Trump shocker might have its consequences.

A top market expert has warned that iPhones could cost up to $3,500 if Apple decides to make all its phones in the United States. Right now, most iPhones are made in countries like China and India, where it’s cheaper to pay workers and run factories.

Making iPhones in the U.S. would be much more expensive. Workers are paid more, rules for factories are stricter, and building and running plants costs a lot more. All these extra costs would likely be added to the phone’s price, meaning buyers would pay a lot more.

If prices triple, many people may not be able to afford iPhones. This could hurt Apple’s sales and give other phone brands a chance to grow.

There’s also a bigger issue at play. Some people think it’s worth paying more if it means Apple isn’t so dependent on other countries, especially during political tensions or trade problems. Others say the cost is just too high.

Apple may try a middle path, like building some parts in the U.S. but still assembling phones overseas. This situation has come up primarily due to the operational pressure exerted by Trump.
