#Tariffs will make almost every new piece of technology more expensive. That means repairing the devices you own will make even more sense than buying new.
However, replacement parts will also become more expensive. 🧵

For example, the cost to make an #iPhone 16 Pro could rise by $300. That increase alone is more than three times the current cost of an iPhone Battery Fix Kit. Even as the costs of parts like batteries rise, #repair will still be the smart choice.

A graphic first published by the Wall Street Journal titled “The Bill for an iPhone 16 Pro.” An exploded diagram to the left labels the major components of the iPhone 16 Pro. A list of components, country of origin, and costs is to the right of the phone. A graph above this list shows that the cost components before tariffs total $549.73, but the after-tariff cost increases by 54% to $846.59.
