Trump Tariffs: iPhone will become three times more expensive, price may reach up to three lakhs..

Recently, the US government has announced to imposition of tariffs on goods coming from other countries. President Donald Trump believes that this move will bring American companies back to production in America, which will create millions of jobs and boost the country's local industry, but some experts say that this decision can make smartphones very expensive for consumers.

The price of the iPhone can reach $3,500 (about Rs 3 lakh)

According to a CNN report, if Apple manufactures the iPhone completely in America, then its price can be around $3,500 (about ₹ 3 lakh). Currently, the price of an iPhone is around $1,000. The reason for this huge increase will be the huge cost of building and maintaining high-tech factories in America.

At present, most iPhones are made in China, where labor costs are low. At the same time, to manufacture in America, Apple will have to build new factories at a cost of billions of dollars and develop a complex supply chain that has been developed over several decades in Asia. The report also states that if Apple wants to bring even just 10% of its supply chain to the US, it will take at least three years and $30 billion (about ₹2.5 lakh crores).

Apple's dependence on Asia

The components used in the iPhone come from many countries. For example, chips are mainly made in Taiwan, screens come from South Korea, and many other components are made in China. All these parts are then assembled in Chinese factories and shipped around the world.

This international supply chain helps Apple keep costs low and make more profits. This is why Apple has been able to become one of the most successful tech companies in the world.
