Overview

• Producing iPhones in the U.S. could raise manufacturing costs by up to 90%, primarily due to higher labor expenses and tariffs on imported components.
• Retail prices for U.S.-manufactured iPhones are predicted to soar to approximately $3,500, over three times their current price.
• Apple would need an estimated $30 billion and three years to relocate just 10% of its supply chain to the U.S., highlighting the complexity of such a shift.
• Ongoing U.S.-China trade disputes, including President Trump's 125% tariff on Chinese imports, are significantly impacting Apple's supply chain and market strategy.
• In response to escalating costs and tariffs, Apple is reportedly considering expanding iPhone production in India as a diversification strategy.
