Apple has taken proactive steps to mitigate the potential impacts of tariffs on its business operations. Despite facing pressure from President Trump to impose tariffs, Apple has strategically positioned itself to delay the burden of these tariffs for the time being. With manufacturing hubs in various regions, the company is able to navigate the high rates of importing goods without immediate repercussions.
As Apple prepares to launch its iPhone 17 lineup, including the highly anticipated iPhone 17 Air, the company is faced with the challenge of potential price increases due to tariffs. With older models no longer being a fallback option, Apple may have to introduce higher prices alongside the new product launch. This could mark a significant shift in pricing for Apple's base iPhone models, impacting consumers directly.
