There is an important news for those thinking of buying iPhone. apple CEO Tim Cook has given a big statement on whether iphone prices can increase amid the ongoing trade war between the US and China.

Tim Cook said that so far the tariffs (import duty) imposed by the US on china have not had much impact on the company's earnings. In the march quarter, apple kept these increased costs under control by handling its supply chain better. But he is also not completely sure about what will happen in the coming months. He clearly said that if there is no change in the current status of tariffs, the company may have to bear an additional cost of about $ 900 million (about Rs 7,500 crore).

Will iphone prices increase?

Not at the moment, apple has so far borne this increased cost itself and has not let it affect the customers. Tim Cook said, "Our team has handled the supply chain very well, and we will continue to do so." That is, apple is not increasing the prices of iphone right now, but if the situation worsens, then the prices may increase.

apple made a backup plan

apple is already reducing its dependence on China. The company has shifted the manufacturing of many of its products to india and Vietnam. More than half of the iPhones sold for America are now being made in India. At the same time, products like MacBook, iPad, AirPods and apple Watch are being made in Vietnam. Tim Cook said, 'We had already understood that depending on a single country is a big risk. That's why we have spread the supply chain to different countries.'
