In a turbulent economic landscape influenced by trade tensions, Apple has lost its title as the world’s most valuable company as tariffs threaten to significantly increase the prices of its products, particularly the iPhone. Analysts warn that the device could see pricing soar up to $3,500 if manufactured in the U.S., following a hefty $700 billion impact from the ongoing trade war initiated by Trump. As customers rush to purchase iPhones ahead of potential price hikes, Apple is reportedly ramping up production in India to mitigate tariff effects. The White House acknowledges the complexities of domestic production, while tech analysts remain skeptical about feasibility. The situation has led to stock price plunges and uncertainty across the tech industry, compelling companies like Dell and HP to adapt to the tariff-induced challenges. With estimates suggesting that iPhone prices might rise by as much as 26%, consumers and investors alike are bracing for significant changes in the tech market.
