New report calculates a 29% price increase for the iPhone 16 Pro Max (1TB) in the US

08 April 2025
This is if the phone was manufactured in China - and believe it or not, it is lower than initial estimates.

Sort by:

Aierlan, 08 Apr 2025The US has sales tax which is VAT by another name. However ... moreThat's a bunch of non-sense. Europe is not one country, on the contrary, every country has various rules except rules that are governed in the EU, but even there only a part of those rules are the same and even then, individual countries can and usually do ask for exceptions from those rules.

And I do live in a european country and we do state VAT separately, you always see the price of phones (or pretty much any item) including and excluding VAT. Just like in the US. The difference is that taxes in the US are so low that you can buy many items 20% cheaper on average, that includes all electronics and cars.

        Androids will be hit hard also. Given the lower profit margins. I doubt the manufactures will absorb the tariff. All parts are made everywhere except in USA.

        Get ready to fly overseas to buy your phones / gadgets.
