It has been pointed out that the price of the iPhone could reach record figures, going up to 2300 euros, which worries both the company and its consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apple is one of the biggest affected by tariffs<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple is at a crossroads, considering renegotiating with its suppliers to reduce production costs, or absorbing some of those additional expenses to avoid a significant increase in the price of the iPhone. <strong>The company is pressured by its profit margin of 45%, which leads it to fear that a drastic price increase could negatively affect its sales and the loyalty of its followers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"PS5 Hardware Reveal Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RkC0l4iekYo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, Sony has taken a proactive approach to these tariffs. The company has accumulated a considerable amount of PlayStation 5 consoles, anticipating the current difficulties.<strong> Furthermore, it has no new console model on the horizon, which allows for greater flexibility in its short-term strategy<\/strong>. Meanwhile, there are rumors that Sony may relocate its console production from China to Japan, which would reduce the tariff impact from 54% to 24%. This change would help mitigate the price increase in the U.S. market.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The arrival of the new Nintendo Switch 2 could mark a turning point, and Sony is in a favorable position to compete.<strong> The uncertainty surrounding how the U.S. market will receive Nintendo&#8217;s new console could open up significant opportunities for it to expand its market share during this critical period<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"PlayStation App\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/00be5b32-9b62-11e6-869c-00163ed833e7\/1288856595\/playstation-app-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">PlayStation App<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/playstation-app.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/playstation-app.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tariffs imposed by the Trump administration are causing serious complications for tech giants like Apple and Sony, with damages that could be reflected in the prices of iconic products like the iPhone and the PlayStation 5.
