The Apple iPhone could cost upwards of US$2,000 (RM8,984) in the United States in the near future due to President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs on imports from China and other countries.
According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Apple's total cost of parts for the 256 GB variant of the iPhone 16 Pro, for example, will go from US$550 (RM2,470) to US$820 (RM3,683). The increase is due to a hike of 54% on imports from China, WSJ quoted TechInsights analyst Wayne Lam as saying.
