\nIt should come as no surprise that Cook looked to support Trump\u2019s second term. One favors big business while the other one commands a big business. Cook, along with Sundar Pichai, Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, and Jensen Huang all supported Trump; a group of circus clowns all electing a new ring leader. The commonalities between them all are money and the pursuit of more of it. Well, while they get more money, there\u2019s going to be much less of it going around.
\nSpeaking of money, thanks to Trump\u2019s tariffs, iPhone prices might rise
\nImmediately after retaking the White House, Trump began shooting out tariffs haphazardly. This additional tax on imported goods is made to encourage production in The States. While anyone with an IQ more than that of a donut would know that this negatively impacts businesses across several industries, what else could we expect from Trump?
\nBecause of these taxes, companies that rely on exported goods will need to raise their prices to deal with the increased taxes. Either they raise their prices or they lose money. Here\u2019s the issue, prices for consumers are already high, so price increases could discourage people from buying from these companies.
\nApple is a company that could be impacted. According to the report, the company could see a 9% price hike. Apple devices are already expensive. So, a 9% price increase could be pretty high. For example, the iPhone 16 Pro Max starts at $1199. A 9% increase could push the price up to about $1,308. That\u2019s if Apple isn\u2019t planning a price hike already without the tariffs.
\nIf Apple doesn\u2019t raise its prices, it could see a 3.1% drop per share of its stocks. A 3.1% dip is pretty significant for a company as big as Apple.
\n85% of iPhones are manufactured in China and the other 15% are built in India. Apple could negate the price hike if it magically moved the production over to U.S. soil, but that\u2019s not likely unless Tim Cook is secretly a wizard who can make it happen with a wave of a wand.
\nBut, Cook can\u2019t magically do that just like how spitefully slapping tariffs on everything won\u2019t magically boost American production. We\u2019re going to have to brace for more expensive tech in the near future.
