The world's most popular smartphone company apple is once again in the news, but this time the reason is not features, but prices. There are reports that due to the trump government in America, the prices of iPhones can skyrocket. This will have a direct impact on india, china and other Asian countries, where iPhones are produced the most, but the interesting thing is that pakistan may get a setback in this fight, where iphone has already become a luxury.
America's 'tariff tussle' and target on India
The trump administration has once again brought out the tariff weapon. Now preparations are being made to impose 25% import tariff on all smartphones sold in America. This clearly means that any phone that goes to America from outside will be sold at a higher price. This will have a direct impact on companies like apple, which get their devices manufactured in india, china and other Asian countries.
This attitude of the trump government is such that you say something today, something else tomorrow. First strictness against china, then statements about India. The US President himself has even said that he does not want apple to make its iPhones in India.
Will the 17 model of iphone be expensive?
If media reports are to be believed, the iphone 17 series may be more expensive than before. If 25% import tariff is implemented, then apple will also have to increase the prices of its products. According to reports, the price of iphone 17 Pro Max in india can be around Rs 1,64,900. Now imagine, if the same phone reaches pakistan, then its price there can be around five and a half lakh Pakistani rupees.
iphone will become a dream for Pakistan!
iphone is already a luxury brand in Pakistan. The price of iphone 16 Pro Max was around Rs 3.7 lakh there. Now if the top model of iphone 17 reaches five and a half lakhs, then it will be out of the reach of the common man. Dollar is expensive, import is expensive and on top of that taxes - because of all these reasons iphone will now remain a 'dream' for the middle class Pakistani..jpg)
