President Donald Trump is threatening to impose a 25% tariff on smartphones manufactured overseas, specifically targeting companies like Apple. Trump called out Apple CEO Tim Cook on Truth Social.

Trump threatens 25% tariff on Apple, other tech giants if they don't start making devices in America

Sales of Apple Inc.'s iPhone and its key competitors are expected to weaken in 2025, according to Bloomberg. The decline follows President Donald Trump's threat of a 25% tariff on smartphones made outside the U.

Apple exported 2.9 million iPhones from India to the United States in April 2025—a 76 per cent rise year-on-year—despite former President Donald Trump’s tariff threats and push for domestic manufacturing.

The twin threats, delivered via social media, roiled global markets after weeks of de-escalation had provided some reprieve.

US President Donald Trump’s fondness for Tim Cook is souring. He took several jabs at Apple’s chief executive during his recent tour of the Middle East, likely stemming from his resistance to shifting iPhone production out of China.

Trump advisor Kevin Hassett has played down the "tiny little tariff" on firms such as Apple and strangely insists consumers won't pay more for iPhones.

As inconsistent as things have been, Donald Trump's tariff policies are still certain to cause price hikes in the US, and I'm here to help track the price moves for things you might want to buy.
