In the middle of the trade war between the United States and China, such as Apple, they try to find ways to avoid crazy tariffs introduced by President Trump on the import. The report earlier this month showed that, within the framework of these plans, Apple wanted to expand its assembly line in Brazil, and now the company is already collecting the new iPhone 16E in the country. Brazil
According to Macmagazine, Apple collects the iPhone 16e in Brazil from the first day. Despite the fact that the iPhone has been gathered in Brazil for some time, the company had been waiting for several months before starting to produce the latest iPhone at the local level. Now it seems that this is no longer the case. It is also confirmed by Apple in its Brazilian online store, since the URL purchases for the iPhone 16e shows the model number ending with BR/A, which is assigned to products collected in Brazil. The iPhone, imported from other countries, is marked with “BE/A”.
Documents from Anatel, Brazil, telecommunication regulator, confirm that the iPhone 16e is collected in Brazil, China and India. In Brazil, the iPhone 16e costs about $ 890. Nevertheless, it can already be found for $ 670 in retail sellers, which is probably due to tariff exceptions for local production. The phone starts with $ 600 in the USA. Despite the fact that the US government announced some exceptions to Trump's new tariffs, the recent White House document suggested that China could reach up to 245% of the US tariffs. It is not surprising that China also increased US products.
products from Brazil, on the other hand, were affected only by 10% of the tariff, so Apple believes that it can import the iPhone from Brazil, and not in China. Apple, reportedly, flew several aircraft with the iPhone and other products from India and China before the tariffs entered into force. Paise for most tariffs, but it raises China to 125%
