Taxes have been a popular theme for the past three decades, making both consumers and businesses concerned: Will they go up costs, and by how much? It’s a problem more important than ever, as President Donald Trump punts another big date down the road, delaying the biggest possible rate hikes by another couple weeks and letting more uncertainty spread.
In light of those concerns, I’ve been monitoring costs every day for 11 important products likely to be affected by tariff-induced rate rises, and the result is this: Not so much, at least not already. The winding path of price inflation still stretches before us into an uncertain potential, but the risk of rate hikes continues to cloud the sky.
I’ve seen two notable rate increases to day, one for the Xbox One and the other for a well-known 4K TV, both of which are affordable. Some different products– including Apple’s famous AirPods and printing paint– have gone on sale for short periods.  ,

We’re checking costs regularly and will upgrade the article and the important charts straight away to reveal any changes. The most recent of the following charts, which is marked” Now,” and displays the current rate, displays a single shot point for each month. For the past weeks, we’ve gone with what was the most popular price for each piece in the given month.  ,
In most cases, the cost numbers used in these maps were pulled from Amazon using the traditional price-tracker application Keepa. The prices for the iPhones are based on the 128-gigabyte base model of the most recent iPhone 16 release and are based on Apple’s standard materials. For the Xbox 360 Series X, the charges were sourced from Best Get using the device PriceTracker. If any of these goods are going to be on sale at any particular moment, we’ll be sure to let you know and discuss how these value drops may be affected by potential longer-term sales trends.
The 11 materials we’re tracking
Along with a normal bag of espresso, a more modest item that isn’t produced in the US in any significant way, we’re mostly tracking electrical devices and electronic items that CNET covers in depth, like iPhone-uri and cheap 4K TVs.  ,
The items featured were chosen for a number of reasons: Some of them are well-known and/or reasonably priced representatives of major consumer tech categories, such as smartphones, TVs, and game consoles. Others are meant to represent things that consumers might buy more frequently, like printer ink or coffee beans. Some goods were chosen over others because they are likely to be more prone to tariffs. Some of these products have been reviewed by CNET or have been featured in some of our best lists.
We’ll expand on each individual product below, and stay until the end for a rundown of some other noteworthy items.
iPhone 16
Since the iPhone is the most well-known brand of smartphones in the US, price tracking was a top priority. The iPhone has also emerged as a major focal point for conversations about tariffs, given its popularity and its susceptibility to import taxes because of its overseas production, largely in China. Trump reportedly has a fixation on the notion that the iPhone can and should be produced in the US, a notion that experts have dismissed as a fantasy. Estimates have also suggested that a US-made iPhone would cost as much as$ 3, 500.
The price shown is what you’ll see if you purchase your phone from a major carrier, so there’s something to keep in mind about this graph. If you, say, buy direct from Apple or Best Buy without a carrier involved, you’ll be charged an extra$ 30, so in some places, you might see the list price of the standard iPhone 16 listed as$ 830.
Apple has been taking a few precautions to protect its prices in the face of these tariffs, including moving product in bulk shipments din China până în India and moving production for the US market from there. A nou raport Reuters found that a staggering 97 % of iPhones imported from the latter country, March through May, were bound for the US. Trump once more expressed his anger over this latter decision, which drew the company’s attention with a 25 % tariff if they didn’t move production to the US, a claim that CEO Tim Cook has repeatedly refrained from making. This came after Trump gave a tariff exemption to electronic devices including smartphones, so the future of that move seems in doubt now.
Baterii AA de la Duracell
A lot of the tech products in your home might boast a rechargeable energy source but individual batteries are still an everyday essential and I can tell you from experience that as soon as you forget about them, you’ll be needing to restock. Some of the bestseller batteries on Amazon are the Duracell AAs we’re tracking.
Televizor Samsung DU7200
Televisions are among the most well-known tech products available, even if they aren’t as frequently purchased as smartphones are. This particular product is a popular entry-level 4K TV and was CNET’s pick for best overall budget TV for 2025. Samsung is a South Korean company, which may have some degree of tariff resistance, in contrast to many other tech products that have strong supply lines in China.  ,
This item has since experienced some notable upticks on Amazon, most recently settling at around$ 450 after spending the majority of 2025 at around$ 400. This could potentially be in reaction to Trump’s announcement of 25 % tariffs against South Korea this week.
Xbox 360 Seria X
Software-ul și hardware-ul pentru jocuri video reprezintă un segment de piață care se așteaptă să fie puternic afectat de tarifele impuse de Trump. Xbox-ul Microsoft este... prima marcă de console care înregistrează creșteri de prețuri — compania a invocat „condițiile pieței” împreună cu creșterea costurilor de dezvoltare. În special, aceasta a inclus o creștere a prețului consolei emblematice Xbox 360 Series X, de la $500 la $600. Numeroase accesorii Xbox au fost, de asemenea, afectate, iar compania a mai spus că „anumite” jocuri vor înregistra în cele din urmă o creștere de preț de la $70 la $80.
Inițial, am urmărit prețul consolei mult mai populare Nintendo Switch, ca reprezentant al pieței de jocuri. Nintendo nu a majorat încă prețul consolei sale hibride portabile și a subliniat că prețul $ 450 al viitoarei console Switch 2 nu a fost încă umflat ca urmare a creșterilor tarifare. Între timp, Sony a majorat până acum prețurile la hardware-ul PlayStation doar pe piețele din afara SUA.
AirPods Pro 2
The latest iteration of Apple’s wildly popular true-wireless earbuds are here to represent the headphone market. A quick look at the Amazon sales charts on the internet shows you how much the brand dominates all headphone sales, much to the chagrin of the audiophiles out there.  ,
Cerneală pentru imprimantă HP 962 CMY
This HP printer ink includes cyan, magenta and yellow all in one product and recently saw its price jump from around$ 72– where it stayed for most of 2025– to$ 80, which is around its highest price over the last five years. We’ll be monitoring this to see if it’s a long-term change or a quick increase.  ,
We’re still tracking the item because it replaced Overture PLA Filament for 3D printers in this piece.
Anker 10, 000-mAh, 30-watt power bank
Anker has already stated that some of its products will soon become more expensive as a result of tariff increases, despite the company’s long-standing popularity for its accessories in the tech industry. This specific product has also been featured in some of Listele CNET cu cele mai bune încărcătoare portabile. ,
Boxă TV Bose
Given the frequently iffy quality of the speakers installed in TVs, soundbars have grown to be significant purchases. While not the biggest or the best offering in the space, the Bose TV Speaker is one of the more affordable soundbar options out there, especially hailing from a brand as popular as Bose.  ,
Periuță de dinți electrică Oral-B Pro 1000
Although electric toothbrushes are a much more expensive option than their traditional counterparts, consumers still make them a popular choice because of how well they perform the job. I know my dentist won’t let up on how much I need one. CNET chose this particular Oral-B toothbrush as the top electric toothbrush of 2025 overall.
This product hasn’t seen its price budge one way or another most of the year, but while Prime Day might have come and gone, there’s still a$ 10 coupon listed on Amazon right now, letting you save a little bit of money for the time being.
Chromebook de la Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i
Lenovo se remarcă printre marii producători de laptopuri pentru că este o companie chineză care își face produsele deosebit de susceptibile la tarifele impuse de Trump.
Cafea măcinată Starbucks într-o pungă de 28 de uncii
Cafeaua este inclusă în acest instrument de urmărire datorită omniprezenței sale – cu siguranță beau prea multă în ultima vreme – și pentru că este deosebit de susceptibilă la agenda tarifară a lui Trump. Spre deosebire de alte țări, boabele de cafea pot fi cultivate doar în apropierea ecuatorului Pământului, o regiune tropicală cunoscută sub numele de „Centura Cafelei”, care este în mare parte nedezvoltată.
Hawaii este singura parte a SUA care poate produce boabe de cafea, conform datelor disponibile. de la USAFacts showing that 11.5 million pounds were harvested there in the 2022-23 season– little more than a drop in the mug, as the US consumed 282 times that amount of coffee during that period. Even worse, there hasn’t been as much production of Hawaiian coffee in a while.
All that to say: Americans get almost all of their coffee from overseas, making it one of the most likely products to see price hikes from tariffs. This particular bag of Starbucks beans hasn’t changed much over the past year, but in recent days, it’s increased by less than a dollar on Amazon, which could indicate further increases.
