[It is reported that Apple (AAPL) may be planning to raise prices by upgrading its products] It is learned that Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook said that the technology giant is evaluating whether to raise the price of the iPhone series when the new products are released this fall, but has not yet made a final decision on whether to increase prices. According to reports, Apple is internally exploring "strategic binding" of price increases with new model function upgrades and design iterations to avoid consumers directly linking price adjustments with US tariffs on China. This move occurred at a time when Sino-US trade frictions showed signs of easing – Apple's stock price was boosted on Monday by expectations of a better trade situation. In addition, Apple plans to increase the supply share of Indian-made iPhones in the US market to a major position by the end of 2026, a move aimed at diversifying geopolitical risks.
