The head of the Global Technological Research Department in Wedbush Securities Financial Company Dan Aivs estimated that in this case the prices for the iPhone will increase three times.

~ < p > he told this in & nbsp; comments & nbsp; cnn.

< p >The iPhone smartphones will rise up to $ 3,500 if their production is completely transferred to the United States, for example, they will build factories in Western Virginia and New Jersey. Apple will take three years and $ 30 billion to move only 10% of the supply chain.

< p > “This is the most complex chain of deliveries in the world”, & mdash; The expert emphasized.

< P > The production and assembly of smartphone details have moved to Asia decades ago, since US companies mainly focused on the development of software and product design, which provides much higher profit margin. This step helped Apple to become one of the most valuable companies in the world and fix as a dominant smartphone manufacturer.

< p >From the moment of Trump's inauguration, at the end of January, Apple lost about 25% of their value because of fears about the impact of customs tariffs on its branched supply chain, which is highly dependent on China and Taiwan. About 90% iPhone is collected in China.

< P > “I think, so you see what happened to the stocks. Because no company was as much captured by the fifth category tariff, like Cupertino and Apple. It is economic Armageddon, but especially for the technological industry”, & mdash; mdash; declared Dan Aivs.

< p > how & nbsp; considers & nbsp; PC Gamer, attempts to deploy all infrastructure in the United States are unlikely to be successful in terms of time and money. Tariff introduction will have unpleasant consequences not only for the iPhone, but also for the computing market. If the iPhone supply chain is the most difficult in the world, according to Dan Aivs, then the supply of play laptop is not much simpler.

< P > A similar jump in prices in the case of a game laptop worth $ 1500, such as HP Omen 17 of the RTX 4070, will increase the cost of the device to $ 5,000 or more. If you apply such a formula to the latest Razer Blade 16 for $ 4,500 with its new NVIDIA RTX 50 series, its price will increase to about $ 15,000. In addition, the transfer of production of all components will also take years.

< P > “If these figures are a little accurate, it becomes clear that even at tariffs 100% or even higher to produce iPhone and possibly devices such as game laptops, beyond the US will still be cheaper”, & mdash; Analysts have been admitted.
