New report calculates a 29% price increase for the iPhone 16 Pro Max (1TB) in the US | Infinium-tech
Analysts are still trying to calculate the impact of tariffs on the US prices of electronics with iPhones, usually being used as an example. Tomorrow, Wsj It was calculated that the material bill for 256GB iPhone 16 Pro can go up to $ 300. Now UBS There is a report that shows the worst position-an increase in the price for 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max in-Retails.
Right now, that 1TB model costs $ 1,600. Earlier estimates claimed that the price would be up to $ 2,300 – those estimates suggested an increase of about 40% for all Apple products made in China.
However, UBS The report calculates that the 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max built in China can be sold in $ 2,062 – 29% increase at the current price. The calculation believes that the tariff for China currently lives at 54%. However, President Trump has threatened tariffs up to 104% as a reaction to China’s counter -retracement tariff.
Apple also creates iPhones in India, which will be subject to 26% tariffs when imported into the US. This means that $ 1,000 will cost $ 1,120 instead of iphone 16 Pro (128GB), 12% increase. Keep in mind that tariffs do not apply to retail price, but for the price paid by Apple to their manufacturing partners (this is why it will increase by 12% instead of 26%).
Current prices of iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max
Vietnam – Where Apple Watch produces Ultra 2 – 46% is subject to tariffs and the current $ 800 can go from 19% to $ 950. It all assumes that the Apple passes on the cost growth, which attributes consumers to tariffs, rather than hit its profit margin as if it was earlier done when Trump introduced a 10% tariff on China. It is not clear on which path Apple takes the apple, once its stockpild inventory will go out.
Other costs are that UBS The report believes – AI servers manufactured in Taiwan will be subject to 27% price increase. Now, consumers do not buy AI servers directly, but they are important for Apple’s push for AI on iPhone, Mac and its other product lines.
