Tariffs. If you followed messages in the last few months, then the word probably appeared more than any other. Well, of course not taking into account “and” Trump “. The technology industry, depending on the workforce from around the world, is located in a unique place with tariffs, and the Apple solution of this problem is to get so many iPhones in the United States before everything happens.
As reported ReutersApple allegedly sent 600 tons of iPhones (estimated at about 1.5 million pieces) from India to the USA from March. Apparently, production in India was overtaken by the primary dates, which were set to supply devices. Reuters reports that the source claims that Apple “wanted to overcome the tariff.”
There are a total of three factories in India, and people divided between two main suppliers, Foxconn and Dad. The Foxconn plant reportedly ran on Sunday to increase production before tariffs.
Apple previously consisted of production from Zhengzhou in China, but it turned a lot of focus into India, which also has a huge production operation. However, this production exchange does not completely remove Apple from countries affected by tariffs, and the import of mass amounts of iPhones is probably only the stall tactics until a better plan or tariff agreement appears.
Stocks of millions of iPhones for sale in the future means that Apple can avoid more technologies as long as possible. The iPhone 14 will probably be withdrawn in September this year, with the likely appearance of the iPhone 17, so the production is still very much in the air.
Here is a quick summary of the time axis so far. US President Donald Trump announced tariffs as part of his campaign plan long before his current term in the White House, and introduced some tariffs in 2016.
The purpose of these tariffs is to encourage production in America, not abroad. After months of conversation and delays at the beginning of this year, Trump finally placed a 10% blanket in all countries, and such as Taiwan, Vietnam and China, see larger tariffs.
In response to this initial wave, both Vietnam and Taiwan announced that they would not employ retaliation tariffs, trying to establish communication with the USA. China, the opposite, announced their own wave of retaliation tariffs.
Thanks to companies such as Framework, Nintendo and Razer, they reportedly make corrections in response, the stock exchange has recorded a negative impact on these tariffs, and Trump laid a 90-day pause on them this week. However, he did not recover 145% tariff for Chinaat the time of writing.
Thanks to the tariffs that impossible inventory and shipping of products, Apple will not be the only supply of the company. Only this week it was reported that Samsung obtained a much higher than average profit in this quarter due to companies and users who save chips before the implementation of tariffs. Since the countries see a low pause for the tariff, it seems that the production will only take jerks, until the next time Trump’s tariffs do not hit the world.
