Should you rush to buy an iPhone before Trump’s tariffs kick in?

If you're considering buying a new iPhone 16, it's better to do so sooner rather than later. Even though Trump's tariffs can change before taking action and during the next few months, it's almost certain that iPhone 17 models will, at least initially, be more expensive than previous models.

However, the rush to get an iPhone these past few days may be unnecessary. As Bloomberg's Mark Gurman and Rthvika Suvarna reported, US customers are rushing to get new iPhones as though Apple might announce price hikes in a matter of days.
