You ’ve in all probability heard about the intense conversations between the United States and China over duty . The US government has been discrepant , thus far , on what affects a trade war could have on the average person , and the stock market — which loves consistency — has taken a beating with all the rumors and speculation . However at least one thing is clear , Apple phones are going to get more expensive .
Katy Huberty , an psychoanalyst with Morgan Stanley , write a greenback on Friday concluding that one element of the grow tariffs could “ have considerable ramifications across Apple ’s supply Ernst Boris Chain . ”
This might be surprising if you rememberTim Cook ’s statements latterly last year . The Apple CEO has been publically against any kind of trade warfare with China , but noted in an interview with Good Morning America last year that he thought the Trump government recognized tariff on Cartesian product like phones would not be “ really not bad for the United States . ”

Unfortunately , Apple may not be safe in the prospicient run . The Trump administration isincreasingly expectedto lend oneself tariffs to the remaining good that the U.S. importation from China . If it went all the path with said tariffs , rent things to their extreme point , then , according toThe Street , Huberty believes that opening would have considerable ramifications for Apple . “ A 25 % taxation on the stay $ 267 billion of good exported from China to the U.S. would have considerable ramifications across Apple ’s supply mountain range , ” Huberty write . And who would pay that ?
If it ’s consumers that means a $ 1,000 phone could now be $ 1,160 . Given that the high toll of Apple phones has meant fewer phones betray in the last two years , Apple might be reluctant to raise the price again . Instead , it could eat the moment cost — something Apple , with billions in its war chest , can certainly afford to do .
But that would have in mind a drop in revenue which could mean a drop in stock price when Apple announce the drop in revenue . According to the Street , which take Huberty ’s note in its entirety , it would “ trim rough 23 % , or $ 3 , off her 2020 earnings per share estimate of $ 12.67 . ” So if you plan to grease one’s palms some Apple stock or a phone … maybe wait and see how these tariff will actually move things .
