But a 20% tariff that President Trump imposed early in his second term on Chinese goods, citing what he said was Beijing\u2019s role in the fentanyl trade, remains in place and covers smartphones.<\/p>\n<p>Trump had exempted smartphones and some other electronics products from a separate \u2018reciprocal\u2019 tariff on Chinese goods, which will temporarily fall to 10% from 125% under Monday\u2019s trade deal.<\/p>\n<p>New iPhones set to be released in the fall include some design and format changes, including an ultrathin design, The Wall Street Journal has reported.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nothing found in this article makes me think the WSJ knows what Apple may or may not do with this year\u2019s new flagship iPhones. The WSJ\u2019s \u201csources\u201d in the supply chain are not going to know Apple\u2019s iPhone pricing strategy. Apple pricing rumors should be discounted in general as Apple is able to keep pricing information under wraps.<\/p>\n<p>For the past few years, price increases have been rumored ahead of Apple\u2019s busy fall release cycle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>Become a member to continue reading today\u2019s update. <\/strong>Already a member?
