IPhone will be subject to a 15% rate in December

Due to the ongoing trade war between the US government and China, a report released earlier this month indicated that some Apple products imported from China would be subject to an additional 10% tariff. However, it seems that the tariff to be imposed on Apple products will not reach 10%, because according to a new report recently released by the Reuters news agency, it would appear that the Trump administration has raised these rates at 15%.

This decision is expected to come into effect in December and will cover a number of products including the iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iPod Touch, Apple TV, Apple XDR Display Pro and other Apple accessories such as the keyboard and the headphones. Wired. In addition to 15%, the Trump administration has imposed 5% more on the previously announced price of 25% that would affect other Apple products.

This means that Mac computers, Apple Watch watches, AirPods and all Beats wireless headsets will be priced at 30% on the first day of September. If you are wondering what it means for customers at the moment, it's the possibility for Apple to absorb the costs.

However, the rates of 15% and 30% are much higher than what Apple could absorb, which could change its plans. Whatever it is, we will have to wait to see if there will be any changes in the price of new Apple products.
