🥽 Haven't bought the Vision Pro 1 yet? Vision Pro 2️⃣ has already started mass production

📰 According to Chinese resource IT Home, key components of the new Vision Pro, including panels, cases and circuits, have been put into mass production ahead of the official announcement at the end of 2025.

🔎 It is expected that most of the components of the second-generation model will remain unchanged to compensate for excess inventory in the supply chain. The key difference will be a new Apple chip M5.

📆 This data coincides with the forecast by Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, who expects the Apple Vision Pro 2 to be released between fall 2025 and spring 2026.

📦 Apple has loaded cargo airplanes with iPhones in advance

📰 The Times of India reports that 5 airplanes full of iPhones were shipped in late March to the U.S. from India, where the company's factories are located. A few more may have traveled with other devices, including several shipments from China and Vietnam.

🌐 The company was ready to stock the devices ahead of the increased duties imposed by US President. They affect all of Apple's facilities:

🇮🇳 India, where Apple is increasingly building iPhones and AirPods, will have a 26% tariff.
🇻🇳 Vietnam, where the company now makes some AirPods, iPads, Apple Watches and Macs, will be hit with a 46% levy.
🇲🇾 Malaysia, where Apple is increasingly producing Macs, will have a 24% tariff.
🇹🇭 Thailand, where the company also makes some Macs, will get a 37% levy.
🇮🇪 Ireland, within the European Union, gets a 20% tariff. Apple produces some iMacs there.
🇮🇩 Indonesia, which will soon begin making AirTags and mesh for the AirPods Max headphones, gets a 32% tariff.
🇨🇳The latest tariffs will be 34% for China, bringing its total level to 54%. But the overall picture suggests Apple isn’t going to get as much benefit as hoped from diversifying away from that country. Apple will still be taking a hit on iPhones made in India, AirPods made in Vietnam and Macs made elsewhere in Asia.

↗️ Apple is looking for ways to mitigate the impact of new U.S. duties to avoid raising prices on its devices

📰 As Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports, Apple isn't afraid to raise prices on its devices because of the new duties, but it is looking for ways not to.

The options being considered are:

1️⃣ Negotiating with component suppliers to lower prices. (the second photo shows a breakdown of iPhone 16 Pro component costs by country of supply)
2️⃣ Covering part of the costs with their own profits.
3️⃣ Temporary price adjustment and supply chain diversification (but not moving production to the US).

🇨🇳 The main problem is dependence on Chinese supplies, which are subject to retaliatory duties. Apple has been preparing for the introduction of duties in advance, having created a stock of devices in the U.S., which will allow it to postpone price increases until September (before the release of new iPhones).

🇺🇸 The company could also approach the US administration for incentives, as they did previously during Trump's first term.

🤔 What will be the prices for iPhone 16 in the US when new trade duties come into effect

Better buy before the price goes up...

📰 Analyst Neil Shah of Counterpoint Research, believes Apple will need to raise prices by at least 30% on average to offset the duties. They are due to take effect on April 9.

💸 Based on projections for the maximum rate (43%), the price of the minimum type budget iPhone 16e model will now increase from $599 to $859. This will also get rid of a special exemption that allowed the model to pay a lower percentage of tax to the customer of the product if the market price of the unit is up to $800 – this measure also being eliminated from May 2025.

・The base 128GB iPhone 16 could cost $1140 instead of $799.
・iPhone 16 Plus in the same memory configuration is not $899, but $1285.
・iPhone 16 Pro at 256GB could rise from $1099 dollars to more than $1570.
・And the top-of-the-line iPhone 16 Pro Max model with 1TB of memory is almost $2300 instead of $1599.

🇺🇸 No panic – these prices will be real if Apple really raises prices exactly by 43% to fully compensate for the amount of duty. In that case, we can forget about the cheapest iPhones from the US. There are still options to avoid these sharp increases, but there's not much time left.

😶 Apple has not commented on the situation so far.

🗞 What's new

😠 Users and developers complain about bugs and oddities in iOS 18.4

A number of users online have reported that after updating to the now available iOS 18.4, apps that were previously uninstalled have been installed on their iPhones. In addition, developers complain about bugs in iOS 18.4 with apps that work unstably or even fail.

🇺🇸 Tim Cook sold 108,136 shares worth $24 million and Trump's new tariffs hit the company's stock

As Bloomberg reports, the new huge (in some scenarios up to 54%) trade duties announced by U.S. President Donald Trump for China, Taiwan, India, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and other countries negates one of the reasons Apple has been diversifying outside of China. The company has significant facilities and factories in all of the countries listed above that could be affected by the new duties.

🔧 New beta versions of iOS 18.5 are now available to developers

Nothing special yet, they're slightly changing the shapes of buttons or sliders (as usual).
