Apple’s AirPods, Apple Watch and HomePod, which have helped the company offset waning sales of its bestselling iPhone this year, are not included in a temporary reprieve on tariffs by the Trump administration.
In July, Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook said wearables helped Apple sales in China, where iPhone sales have struggled. During the last quarter, the iPhone's market share in China declined to 5.8% from 6.4%, according to market research firm Canalys, in part because smartphone rival Huawei Technologies Co Ltd gained market share to become the country's top handset seller.
"We actually grew in mainland China," Cook told Reuters in an interview on July 30. "Non-iPhone revenue grew 17%. We grew in every category outside of iPhone." According to lists published by the U.S. Trade Representative's office, a broad category of items taken off a $200 billion tariff list last year will be subject to a 10% tariff as of Sept. 1.
