Buy your technology now before Trump’s tariffs make it too expensive

Your whole favorite technology will soon hit the wall of the rates performed by President Donald Trump. Tariffs are already forcing Nintendo to review your Switch 2 preliminary time linePotentially making an expensive $ 450 hand console even more expensive. If you want to buy a new laptop, phone, light or virtually any electronic, you have to do it now, or else you give up buying something new while the next scheme, scheme, hair scheme fails from Trump’s white home.

Trump’s White House applies its tariff scheme On Wednesday, but “The Day of Liberation,” as the President called it, was greeted by confusion from the beginning. In the end, reporters were able to confirm 10% of virtually every country or more worldwide, including the uninhabited hammer and the McDonald Islands. Tariffs embodied by 54% of Chinese goods tariff is based on dull mathematical formula It doesn’t make much sense, but it makes gadgets more award.

Other neighboring countries such as Vietnam (46%Tariff), Cambodia (49%) and Taiwan (32%) were one of the most affected by Trump’s decree. Unfortunately, these are some of the countries where technology companies rely most for production. Large technology companies have invested a lot in Vietnamese production, as the US -China trade war began to heat up the last time Trump was in service. US Bureau Census Bureau shows that the country is considered the sixth top source for imported goods in the US

Technical companies, both large and small, have to determine what part of the price they need to convey to the consumer for how much of the difference they want to eat themselves. Jason Miller, Professor of Delivery Chain Management at Michigan State University, told Air Companies will be encouraged to put a “good share” of the price of tariffs on users down the chain.

The only saving grace is that users have a small, shrink window when they can buy a little electronics before the price increases. Miller told The Verge that companies have imported 70% more products to the United States in the last few months than at the same time in 2023. So you can find all your technologies for the time being before the tariff.

But don’t expect current prices to continue. It is better to assume that companies will raise prices earlier than later. In February a major computer and manufacturer of devices Acer has announced it raises prices by about 10% due to tariffs. It’s just a matter of time before they go even higher.

If you want another scary example of how technology can be much more expensive in the coming months, look at Apple. Apple relies on Vietnam for much of its production. Report from Reuters Based on the industrial analyzer forecasts offered a price price of $ 1.142 for iPhone 17 With these new tariffs. This is nearly $ 350 more expensive than $ 800 iPhone 16S The highest class iPhone Pro Max with 1 TB storage can cost nearly $ 2300 using the same mathematics.

Chief Chief Cheeto suggested on Friday that he could impose tariffs specifically targeted to semiconductors “Very soon.” This would take away expensive technology and make it insolvent for most US users

The idea is that these tariffs are supposed to return to the US, but it will not happen overnight. It takes time to build a production apparatus, especially something as complicated as chips. Intel must receive $ 7.9 billion from the US through the Chip Act introduced under President Joe Biden’s term. The company was building a foundry in Ohio, but this project was delayed until the expected opening date of 2030S Trump has recently pressed Enforcement order This would punish companies by withstanding chip funding if they did not invest in US production.

So yes, your phones, tablets and laptops with all your silicon could reach, much more expensive if Trump follows additional tariffs, but that’s not all. As noted by CnnModern cars rely on more than 1000 semiconductor chips, some have over 3000.

No up here. Tariffs are already stimulating cuts in companies such as Stellantis. So, although economic uncertainty can encourage you to keep any costs, wouldn’t you prefer to be unemployed with a steam deck than without a steam deck?
