Apple Considers Raising iPhone Prices, Without Blaming Tariffs

  • Apple plans to raise prices for the iPhone 17 and other products due to a significant cost increase announced by TSMC in 2025.
  • TSMC decided on a 10 percent wafer price hike after months of consideration, citing economic factors that affect Apple's chip manufacturing costs.
  • Apple depends extensively on TSMC for chip production and is managing challenges such as tariffs and changes in manufacturing locations, including intentions to relocate some assembly from China despite cautionary advice from the president.
  • TSMC's price rise will likely increase prices across Apple's product lines, while Apple is hesitant to publicly blame tariffs due to concerns about customer backlash.
  • Samsung, Apple's main competitor less affected by tariffs, may also face price impacts from TSMC's hike, affecting future Samsung devices such as the Galaxy S26 lineup.
