The recent tariffs announced by the US administration are causing concern among consumers, particularly regarding potential price increases for electronics. China, facing a 34% tariff, and Taiwan, with a 32% tariff, are particularly impacted due to their roles in global supply chains. Analysts warn that these tariffs could lead to higher prices for consumers, especially for goods like iPhones, as a significant percentage of components originate from these regions. The tariffs also carry geopolitical implications, especially concerning Taiwan's status with China.
China is at the top of the list, and it will be hit with a 34% 'discounted reciprocal tariff.' This will likely affect consumer prices significantly.
Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo emphasizes that about 85 to 90% of Apple's components come from China and Taiwan, indicating a probable price hike.
