特朗普關稅震撼全球經濟,蘋果或面臨iPhone加價壓力

特朗普政府實施的關稅政策,對美國及全球經濟都造成了不小的影響,至今仍未明朗是否真正帶來利好。這些關稅不但影響全球市場,預計在美國與中國及其他受影響市場達成新協議之前,這種影響仍會持續。對美國消費者而言,直接感受到的是商品價格上升,無論是在亞馬遜購買的商品、Temu和Shein的進口貨品,甚至是即將推出的任天堂Switch 2配件,價格都在上漲。微軟的Xbox遊戲機價格亦受影響,索尼也宣布部分國際市場的PS5價格將調整。

筆者早前已擔心新一代iPhone 17系列,包括iPhone 17 Air,可能會因關稅而加價,甚至考慮重新評估購買計劃。

蘋果在今年三月季度財報中談及關稅問題,透露預計在六月季度將繳納約9億美元的關稅,數額相當驚人。雖然該季度蘋果營收達950億美元,但這額外的稅費直接侵蝕利潤,對蘋果而言並非理想情況。

蘋果亦向投資者及消費者保證,進口美國的iPhone將改由印度製造,意味短期內價格不會有明顯變動。

然而,面對關稅持續帶來的不確定性,不禁令人猜測蘋果是否會透過調整iPhone售價來彌補利潤損失。筆者特別請教了OpenAI的ChatGPT o3模型,模擬蘋果需將iPhone價格調升多少,才能抵銷每季度約9億美元的關稅成本。

蘋果CEO庫克於財報電話會議中表示,目前包括iPhone、Mac、iPad、Apple Watch及Vision Pro在內的大部分產品,暫未受到全球互惠關稅的影響,因商務部正針對半導體及相關產品展開調查。因此上述9億美元關稅主要涉及其他產品,且估算基於目前全球關稅政策不變。

那為何仍要考慮iPhone加價?原因在於iPhone佔蘋果近半營收,是蘋果最暢銷產品,多數消費者偏好高價的Pro及Pro Max型號,加價部分消費者或可接受。

ChatGPT o3透過推理,估算蘋果每季度約售出5,500萬部iPhone,其中約1,800萬部售於美國市場。基於此,模型計算出兩種加價方案:

1. 若只針對美國市場加價,蘋果需將所有iPhone型號價格提升約50美元。例如,售價599美元的iPhone 16e將升至649美元。

2. 若全球均調價分攤關稅成本,則每部iPhone加價約16.36美元,即iPhone 16e售價約615.36美元。

當然,這只是理論推算,實際情況受多種因素影響,包括季度銷量波動、匯率變動、關稅政策調整等。蘋果亦可能將成本分攤至其他產品,減輕iPhone的價格調整壓力。此外,若蘋果計劃調價,或會選擇在新產品發佈時同步實施,較合理的是在iPhone 17推出時調價,而非提前提高iPhone 16價格。

目前好消息是,iPhone 17系列暫無加價跡象,蘋果似乎願意自行承擔這9億美元的關稅費用,不直接轉嫁給消費者。隨著九月中iPhone 17正式發佈,我們將會有更清晰的答案。

評論與啟示

這篇報道揭示了關稅政策如何透過供應鏈和價格機制,最終影響消費者日常生活。蘋果作為全球市值最高的科技公司之一,其財務決策對市場有示範效應。蘋果選擇暫時吸收關稅成本,反映其對品牌形象和市場競爭力的重視,避免因價格波動而流失消費者信心。

然而,這種策略是否可持續?若關稅持續存在或加劇,蘋果或其他廠商可能不得不調整價格結構,轉嫁成本。這提醒我們,全球經濟政策的變動不僅是政治議題,更深刻影響技術產品的普及與消費者負擔。

此外,蘋果將部分生產線移至印度,暗示企業正積極尋找多元供應鏈以分散風險,這是全球供應鏈重組的大趨勢。對香港及本地消費者而言,亦應關注這些國際政策變化,預測可能的價格走勢,作出更明智的消費決策。

最後,利用AI如ChatGPT來分析複雜經濟問題,展示了人工智能在新聞報導和商業分析中的新價值。這不僅提高了資訊透明度,也促使讀者從數據和邏輯角度理解事件,推動媒體報導向更深入、更具洞察力的方向發展。

Prompt:
Use my image in Ultra-realistic, hyper-detailed, 8K cinematic portrait of a young stylish man, using the uploaded image for exact face and hairstyle.
Outfit: An oversized red knit sweater with white hearts, exactly as described in the prompt.
Pose: A hyper-realistic close-up portrait with a messy, cropped framing showing only the boy holding the book. His left hand rests on the wooden table and covers part of his cheek, with a subtle smile on his lips. His other hand holds the book titled "Something I Never Told You" with the word "YOU" written in pink, exactly as
described in the prompt. Background: Not specified. Photorealistic recreation of the iconic grocery shopping scene from Home Alone, set on a snowy winter street in New York City with yellow taxis, steam rising from manholes, holiday lights on buildings, and pedestrians in the background. In the foreground, a man (his face is 100% same as the uploaded photo), smile gently, wearing a white sweater and a light beige scarf around his neck, is taking a selfie-style close-up photo. Behind him and slightly to the right, a young boy (recreated exactly like Kevin McCallister from Home Alone) with short blonde hair, wide-eyed surprised expression, wearing a red knit hat, red scarf, beige coat, gray gloves, holding two full plastic grocery bags (one with oranges visible, the other with a carton of milk and cereal boxes). The boy is standing on the snowy sidewalk looking shocked. Cinematic lighting, cold winter atmosphere, high detail, sharp focus, realistic textures on clothing and snow, film still style from 1990s holiday movie. Create a sticker set maintaining 100% of the woman's original facial features from the provided image. Do not alter the face, focusing on ultra-realistic details of the facial structure, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and expression. The final face must be realistic, not cartoon-like. She has long, voluminous hair.
1. Makeup:Maintain Original Face: We will preserve the structure of your face, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and expression as closely as possible to the original image to maintain naturalness and uniqueness, while adjusting the tone to be softer:

Eyes: Slightly reduce the sharpness of the Cat Eye eyeliner to a thin line close to the lash line for a softer look, while still maintaining eye definition.
Eyeshadow: Use natural tones like light brown, peach, or beige.
Eyebrows: Original shape, but brushed up to look softer and more natural.
Lips: Glossy, pink-tinted, nude-pink, or coral-toned lipstick/tint to make the lips look full and moisturized. Focus on a bright but not overly intense look.
2. Hairstyle:Natural Voluminous Long Hair: Her hair is long and flowing, but the styling will emphasize natural volume and movement. Soft, natural waves.
3. Outfit:

Attire: A white open-back bodysuit paired with distressed, faded blue denim shorts. There is a message "Kunika" on the shirt.
Shoes: Elegant, simple open-toe flat sandals.
Accessories: Styled freely and fittingly for each scene.
4. Poses & Sticker Elements:Poses: Various poses such as waving, jumping, walking playfully, reading a book, holding up a sign, cheering with both hands, stretching, or making a celebratory gesture, to create a cheerful and friendly atmosphere.Decoration: Include elements like small rainbows, sparkling stars, clear bubbles, hearts, balloons, or light-colored dots to decorate and enhance the fun of each sticker scene.Style: Thin black border around the sticker. Use a modern, rounded 'Itim' style font for the text.Text: Add short emotional phrases written in a cute, beautiful script near the sticker (no speech bubbles/text boxes):

"Hello"
"Love you"
"Submitting work"
"Great"
"Got it"
"Thanks!"
"Wait a sec"
"Ready to care"
"Fight"
"Let's do it"
"So cute"

"Sweet dreams:
"Get well soon"
"555"
"You're welcome"
"HBD" 
"OMG" 
"Sorry"
"Got a headache" 
Guidelines: Do not include a text box. Ensure balanced composition with sufficient white space—not cluttered. Match the pose to the text.
Emphasis: Reiterate 'maintain 100% of the original face features from the provided image,' 'ultra-realistic facial detail,' and 'professional studio lighting on face (realistic face, not cartoon face).

Use Cantonese in the stickers.
