Apple is facing significant challenges due to the U.S.-China trade war, with tariffs on Chinese imports reaching 145%. Analysts warn that the company's heavy reliance on Chinese manufacturing could set it back years, as it may need to raise iPhone prices by 85% to maintain margins.
To mitigate these impacts, Apple has begun airshipping iPhones from India and is working to diversify its supply chain. However, ramping up production in India will take time, and analysts suggest that appealing for tariff exemptions may be the best short-term strategy.
