It's still cheaper to import iPhones with 25% tariffs, than assemble in the US
- Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that despite Trump's 25% tariff on Apple, it is still more cost-effective to import iPhones rather than manufacture them in the US.
- The lack of efficient manufacturing processes, such as automation with robots, is not the sole reason for iPhone production not being moved to the US.
- Trump's 25% tariff on Apple's iPhones, announced on May 23, 2025, has caused Apple's share price to drop, but analysts like Ming-Chi Kuo believe it is more profitable for Apple to pay the tariff than relocate assembly lines to the US.
- The long-term profitability for Apple is better if they absorb the impact of the tariffs on iPhones sold in the US market rather than shifting manufacturing back to the US.
