Napier Lopez reports in The Next Web:
Goldman Sachs analysts estimated in a note to investors that Apple could lose 29% of its profits if China decided to ban Apple sales in the country to retaliate against the Huawei ban in the US. 17% of Apple‘s sales come from China,. Mind you, this is a theoretical scenario and China has no to ban Apple beyond politicking as far as we’re aware – though you could say the same about the Huawei ban. On the other hand, the 29% figure is only an estimate of Apple‘s losses should device sales in be halted. Apple products are also, you know, built in China.
Trump’s Huawei ban was bad news for China, as it effectively crippled the world’s second-largest smartphone maker from its largest source of income. But China is also very much in a position to retaliate, and Apple – the world’s third-largest smartphone maker – could be among the ones to suffer.

debilitating. Mind you, this is a theoretical scenario and China has no to ban Apple beyond politicking as far as we’re aware – though you could say the same about the Huawei ban.

If the country decided to inhibit the phone’s production, Apple would face much more difficult immediate consequences. Such a move would likely be ill-advised in the long term as “it could have negative implications for the China tech ecosystem as well as for local employment,” note the Goldman analysts, but it’s a scary possibility for Cupertino – not to mention the myriad of other American companies building their products in China. For its part, Apple has considered moving manufacturing outside of the country due to rising tariffs, but that’s a lot easier said than done.
As consumers, the best we can hope for is that the US and China make up soon. Otherwise, this trade war could have a major adverse effect on the tech landscape.
