Apple (AAPL) is reportedly considering raising prices on its next generation of iPhon🅰es expected to be released this fall—but without pinning higher costs on tariffs. 

The company wants to avoid the perception that higher prices for its iPhone 16 successor are attributed to a trade war with China, where many Apple devices are produced, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. Apple did not immediately respond to a re♔qu𒅌est for comment.

The report comes as the U.S. and China agreed to 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:dramatically roll back tariffs on each other's imports for 90 days. The U.S. levy on Chinese imports will be reduced to 30% from 145% by Wednesday, while Beijing's tariffs on U.S. goods will drop to 10% from 125%, according to U.S. Treಌasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

However, the higher-end (and more profitable) Pro and Pro Max iPhone models will continue to primarily ship from China, WSJ reported. Apple’s factories in India are not yet capable of mass producing those models at the sa♉me scale as their Chinese counterparts can, the෴ report said.
