iPhone 17 pricing in question as tariffs hit India, Vietnam — Mark Gurman reports

Cupertino-based Apple is gearing up to navigate a fresh wave of tariffs that threaten to impact its global production network and potentially its pricing strategy, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The new trade levies, set to take effect on 9 April, will see tariffs ranging from 20 per cent to 46 per cent imposed on goods from key manufacturing hubs — including India, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and even Ireland.

India, a rapidly growing base for Apple’s iPhone and AirPods production, faces a 26 per cent tariff, reported MacRumors. Moreover, Vietnam, which manufactures iPads, Macs, Apple Watches and AirPods, will bear the brunt of the new policy with a steep 46 per cent tariff.
