Apple he can at least partially rest. Trump's import tariffs on products made in China will not affect his products at all for the next few months. American apple producers do not have to worry that the price of iPhones would increase due to tariffs, which some analysts have threatened.
Leading American ad representativesminiYesterday, the government announced that the next wave of import tariffs, which were supposed to include phones and laptops, would be postponed from September 1st to December 15th. Products that Apple will be introduced and sold during this period, so the tariffs will not be practically affected. It is also quite interesting that, according to the available information, many of the products that are to be affected by the tariffs will disappear from the list of products due to their positive impact on health, safety or national security. However, it is not yet clear which products will be affected, as the lists have not yet been published. However, it is possible that among the “exempted” products will appear those from Applu, as they meet the above aspects.
The situation regarding Trump's tariffs, which are the centerpiece of the trade war between China and the US, is changing literally every week. However, since US lawmakers voted to postpone it until December, miniThere will be no further changes to this deadline. On the contrary, it could well happen that in the coming weeks or months, lawmakers will decide to be even more permissive and either cancel this wave of tariffs or adjust it so that it hurts local companies as little as possible. After all, that is exactly what many of them are praying for, because the tariffs are crushing them. Not even Apple is no exception in this regard, as evidenced by its efforts to move a significant part of its supply chain from China to other countries, led by India. But who knows, maybe even this effort would fail with the abolition of tariffs.
