iPhone 17 launch: Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17, its first major launch since Donald Trump’s return to the White House and renewed tariffs on overseas manufacturing. With iPhones still produced in China and India, analysts predict prices may rise by 50–100 per cent to offset 25 perc duties. Apple CEO Tim Cook

Apple on Tuesday is most likely to unveil the next line-up of iPhones amid a global trade war that has added a potential price increase to the usual intrigue surrounding the annual evolution of the company`s marquee product.
As reported by news agency AP, the new iPhones will be the first to be released since President Donald Trump returned to the White House and unleashed a barrage of tariffs. While Donald Trump’s administration says it is an attempt to bring overseas manufacturing back to the US, it is probably a crusade that has thrust Apple CEO Tim Cook into the hot seat.
