Apple is in a complicated situation due to the ongoing trade tensions stemming from Trump's policies, particularly affecting costs related to iPhone production in China. Despite potential exemptions on tariffs, analysts indicate that Apple lacks immediate options to adjust its supply chain significantly. The US currently maintains a steep 145 percent tariff on imports from China, while retaliation from China includes a 125 percent tariff on U.S. goods. The talks and delays surrounding various trade agreements add to the uncertainty for Apple and the tech industry.
