Apple’s actions withdrew Thursday after President Donald Trump intensified his position on the prices against China, which raised questions about the difficulty of the iPhone manufacturer. On Thursday, the name of Megacap technology fell by almost 5% in the afternoon trade, reversing some of the more than 15% of earnings observed during the previous session. Wednesday’s leap came after Trump said he temporarily reduced his new import rates on imports from most countries to 10% for 90 days. However, Trump also increased his levies from Chinese imports, effectively carrying the American rate on this 145%country, a White House official in CNBC confirmed on Thursday. Given that Apple has relied heavily on China for its manufacture, some analysts have declared that the company may have to increase prices to compensate for the effects of prices. Analyst Cherry Ma at Macquarie Equity Research thinks that product prices increases are probably “inevitable”. “We believe that a global price increase in the upcoming iPhone 17 series is more likely than an increase in prices only dictated by the strategy of harmonization of prices justified by the main upgrades that we plan to see (new cameras, a new thin form factor and a new design of professional housing),” she wrote in a note on Thursday. If the “reciprocal” prices remain in place beyond the coming months, my expects a new increase in iPhone prices between 13% and 21% worldwide. Similarly, it provides that Mac will face the higher price increases from 32% to 43%, followed by iPad at 21% to 28% and Airpod and Apple Watch at 13% at 20%. The analyst also believes that the Apple supply chain will probably go to the United States as soon as possible, adding that Asia will remain the company’s “production center”. “We believe that the supply chain and logistics agreements in other countries (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) are still underdeveloped, and local talents are not yet ready for a large-scale decision, despite import rate rates lower than those of Vietnam and China,” continued Ma. Unlike Apple, Apple may not have to increase prices, Stanley. Instead, analyst Erik Woodring said that “rapidly crawling” production in India as well as a “targeted” change in the iPhone mixture could minimize the price of pricing. “(I) F Apple is able to move demand to higher margin iPhone models, it can reduce the blow of Chinese prices while Indian production is also rising,” wrote Woodring in a note on Thursday. “Synthetically, this means that the iPhone (average selling price) will increase, but a 256 GB’s iPhone 17 pro will remain the same price as an iPhone 16 pro 256 GB ($ 1099).” AAPPL 1D Mountain AAPPL, 1 day of rescue of play Thursday Apple places the loss of Apple in last week at almost 7%.
