Apple Struggles with Tariffs, Weighs New iPhone Pricing Amidst Price Hike Concerns

Apple is facing a tough time due to tariffs on its imports. The company has been exploring ways to mitigate the impact of rising tariffs on iPhones. One possible solution could be setting up manufacturing plants in the US, but this would take years. Instead, Apple is shipping iPhones from countries with lower tariffs to meet demand in the US.

The recent tariff deadline and potential price hike have caused a surge in sales at Apple stores. Customers are flocking to upgrade their devices, leading to packed stores. However, the final prices of new iPhone models will only be revealed when they launch next year, leaving users wondering if prices will increase.

Meanwhile, Instagram is developing an iPad app after a decade-long absence. The move aims to capture TikTok creators who have been banned from using the platform. While no details are available on the app’s release date or features, this new direction suggests Instagram’s efforts to attract its target audience.

In related news, Samsung has rolled out an Android 15-based update for its Galaxy S24 series with One UI 7.
