Why Trump's iPhone tariff threat might not be enough to bring production to the U.S.
Publishing timestamp: 2025-05-23 14:17:22
Summary
President Trump wants Apple to make iPhones in the U.S. and threatened a 25% tariff on phones made outside the country. Analysts believe it would be more cost-effective for Apple to absorb the tariff rather than move production back to the U.S. Experts say a U.S.-made iPhone would be significantly more expensive. Apple's relationship with Trump is deteriorating over this issue, but it remains to be seen how it will play out.
