Xinhua News Agency, San Francisco, April 6 (Reporter Wu Xiaoling) American media reported on the 6th that the "peer-to-peer tariffs" launched by the United States may lead to the price increase of Apple's major products sold in the United States.

  Bloomberg reported that the latest tariff shock will be the biggest test Apple faces so far. Even if Apple accelerates its diversified layout, further adjusts its supply chain, and promotes supplier price cuts, once tariffs are implemented as planned, Apple will still bear cost and profit margin pressure and will have to consider adjusting the price of products in the United States.

  According to reports, Apple has responded to tax policies, exchange rate fluctuations and inflation shocks through price increases in Europe and Japan. Apple could theoretically postpone the price adjustment until September launches a new generation of phones, but this will make product price increases rather than hardware upgrades the focus.

  Bloomberg believes that it is difficult for Apple to fully manufacture products in the United States, which will take at least five years to start production, and will double the cost of Apple equipment, greatly pushing up the price of Apple products, which is disastrous for companies and consumers.
