WASHINGTON and SAN FRANCISCO: Apple Inc’s AirPods, Apple Watch and HomePod, which have helped the company to offset waning sales of its bestselling iPhone this year, are not included in a temporary reprieve on tariffs by the Trump administration and will face a 10% levy on Sept 1.
The administration said on Aug 13 some major items, such as laptops and cellphones including Apple’s MacBooks and iPhones, will not face tariffs until Dec 15. The delay affecting some of Apple’s biggest-selling products helped send its shares up about 4% in early afternoon trading.
