iPhone XS If Apple raises prices by 15% to offset tariffs would you keep buying the iPhone?

@otternonsense, +1. Not much interest in the new iPhones at whatever price. Just went from iPhone6 to iPhone7 earlier this year and have not seen one “feature” worth going to a newer model. This puts me firmly in the below-$500 every few years for a new (to me) iPhone. The savings are very real and put to better (again for me) uses. Some of those include wine, dining out, savings, whatev.

Are the tariffs expected to last beyond a year, to the point that not upgrading to the next iPhone means moving to an Android and not upgrading at all?

Hopefully not, so go out and VOTE in 2020.

2020 has little to do with it. I vote every day by withholding purchase of the items I feel are more expensive than what I feel is their worth to me. That’s the only vote a manufacturer cares about.

I can’t vote in the US, though...

terrifs could be in place by June 24th, since they started the approval process.

1.Do you think Apple would pass on the increase to us to offset?
2. Would you still buy iPhones if prices went up by $150/$200?
3. Do you think they will just eat the difference and not pass it on to us?
4. If they did pass on the increase would that see iPhone demand fall beyond repair?

1. No
2. No
3. Yes
4. Probably
