And because so many of the electronics we buy rely on a global supply chain, economists have warned that tariffs impacting consumer technology could mean higher prices for your next smartphone, computer or other gadgets.

Reducing the size of those tariffs, even temporarily, could delay or lessen that impact. But it’s unlikely that price hikes will be totally avoided. Electronics will still be taxed by previous (non-"reciprocal”) tariffs — and potentially under additional, sector-specific levies down the road.It would also be incredibly difficult for companies to change their supply chains. The Trump administration argues that tariffs will entice big names like Apple, for example, to make iPhones in the U.S. for the first time. But Apple has spent decades— and it would take years and cost billions of dollars to build new plants in the U.S.

Wendong Zhang, an assistant professor of applied economics and policy at Cornell University, says the tariffs’ impact on consumer tech reflects how difficult a “full decoupling between U.S. and China” is. Products like laptops, smartphones and the components needed to make themin U.S. imports from China last year.

While the company didn’t acknowledge a mistake, the move was loudly applauded Wednesday when announced at a presentation to advertisers.
