Reuters observes that to reduce the risk, Apple has transferred maximum iPhone production to India, which is already a significant change in the world of smartphone manufacturing.
IPhones are a very high -level product that both Chinese and US governments believe that they end up. So unless tariff rates are set, Apple is at high risk of being affected by the current trade dispute.

At the same time, Apple is running a Titrop in China. The sale of iPhone has recently been snatched there, which has increased due to discounts and commercial offerings, but local brands are getting land-especially they are pushing new features. Think about Huawei, Vivo, Honor, Xiaomi. The list is long and strong, full of fit rivals.
Apple’s own AI tools slow rollout, such as Apple Intelligence Sweet and Siri upgrades, have raised eyebrows among analysts that are worried that the company is lagging behind in AI.

Apple’s long-expected Siri upgrade-AI era has been delayed as a big step in the AI era, and initially leading key features to 2026. These improvements were considered to be known to Suri in 2025 (such as being able to read emails, messages and other app data), but it has not happened so far. Another planned upgrade may allow Siri to understand what he has on the iPhone screen and will respond accordingly, making it more useful in everyday conditions.
Sri Ladd Ruby Walker has allegedly described the situation as “shameful”. The company had already promoted new abilities in the “Personal Siri” ad, only once it becomes clear that its feature will not be ready over time. Although Apple still intends to release updates, premature marketing and indefinite timeline compares past memories like the canceled air power charger, and raises questions as to how Siri is really behind in the AI race.
No one knows what rates will go in the next months and which countries will be targeted, so don’t be afraid if the iPhone 17 is a little priest in September 17.
