In fact no matter how much Apple increase the price there will be people who buy them thinking they're exclusive in some way. But funny thing is it's no one suffer but Apple just get all the profit.

Apple last year sold less phones overall, but made more money due to the high cost of the iPhone X, high price.
Apple have in 2018 added face id to all phones so an immediate price hike compared to 2017 phones
Apple can easily swallow this 10 % or even 25% for a short time only and still make a profit
No doubt given the tax evasion technique (Apple did that fine) Apple will have already got a plan in place to e.g ship the phones to Ireland and then onto the USA, a legitimate way to avoid the tariff

Anonymous, 27 Nov 2018Before Nokia sold mobile to MS, the costs were much lower... moreNope, sorry but nope. Today the devices are way more simple then they ever were. Also, before, the guts were more expensive, why? Cause was something still new ob the market. Tell me how much cost a 128 GB USB thumb now, and i will tell you how much i was a mmc with just 16 MB in 2005. Tell me how much a pc costs now and i will tell you how way higher was the price in 2001. Now ad research and innovation that where not even close to what people call innovation today, it actually was true innovation and developement and money spend on those were quite very spicy. More then 5 years now there is no developement, the same, just the same hardware that was allready innovated a long time ago, but better, which is the nor'al life of sonething discovered. I can continue till tomorrow and i will still not find when were those devices cheapper to produce then this new slabs.

However you must note the newer more expensive iPhones have had fewer sales compared to estimates, a price hike won't help to boost sales...

it wont really hurt apple at all, i mean lets face it, if they get a 10% levy added due to the china-us trade wars, then apple will simply add a 12-15% price hike to their products to offset and continue making record profits Year on Year, the only people this will affect is the consumer

Public opinion: *The new iPhones are very overpriced, over 1200-1300 $*
