Trump’s Tariffs Could Increase Next iPhone Price to $2,300

Posted on 4 April 2025

The recent 54% tariff imposed on U.S. imports from China has put Apple in a challenging position regarding the pricing of its flagship products. The company now faces a tough choice: absorb the increased import tax and consequently reduce its profit margins, or pass the additional costs onto consumers, leading to significantly higher prices for its devices in the U.S. As most of Apple’s products are manufactured in China, the ramifications of this decision could reshape the pricing landscape for iPhones.

Analysts from Rosenblatt Securities anticipate that iPhone prices could soar by as much as 43% due to these tariffs. This forecast suggests that the starting price for the upcoming iPhone 16 might rise from $799 to around $1,142.

Even more staggering is the projected price for the iPhone 16 Pro Max, with a 1TB storage option, which could jump from $1,599 to an eye-watering $2,300. These projections hinge on how Apple decides to manage the additional import costs.

Lower-priced models like the iPhone 16e, initially launched at $599, could also see steep increases, possibly reaching an after-tariff price of $856. However, not all analysts agree on the potential for such considerable price hikes.

Some, like Angelo Zino of CFRA Research, argue that Apple may only be able to implement a more modest increase of 5% to 10% due to declining sales and consumer interest in its latest offerings. The uncertainty surrounding iPhone pricing has affected Apple’s stock, which recently dropped by 9.42%, erasing much of the gains noted since last summer.

As this situation evolves, it’s important to recognize that other Apple products imported from China will similarly be impacted by these tariffs, leading to broader implications for the company in the U.S. market.
