I’ve been monitoring a number of products for CNET’s tax price tracker because they have a higher likelihood of being impacted by President Donald Trump’s price agenda. While these tariffs are very likely to cause prices to rise, for the most part the products I’ve been tracking have remained constant, away from significant increases for Xbox Series X și o televizor 4K accesibil. There are also a number of items that are already less expensive than common, such as chargers, a budget-friendly bară de sunet, and the most famous căști intraauriculare on the market.  ,
Despite all of this, Trump’s says that tax rates against China are likely to return to 55 % remain unmentioned. The Trump presidency has also been working to remove a business court decision, which found that Trump has no authority to set taxes as he has been– a walk then being argued before an appeals court. We’ll see how that eventually turns out, but for the time being, it’s still possible that the president’s tariff policies may cause price increases. That’s why I’m continuing to observe some essential products you may want or need to buy immediately, to keep track of the possible tariff impacts.

Below, you can check out a table with the average cost of the 11 items included in this part over the course of 2025. This will help you understand how much money is changing in general and how much money is fluctuating. Deeper down, you’ll be able to check out tables for each specific item being tracked.  ,
For now, the average rate for all of the items we’re covering is down considerably compared to May, although this might get a result of the various sales going about to kick off the summertime. When Amazon organizează reducerile Prime Day, which I anticipate will be a good time to make a lot of purchases before tariff effects actually start to manifest, that trend is likely to continue into the month.

We’re constantly checking prices and will immediately update the article and the relevant charts to reflect any changes. The following charts show a single bullet point for each month, with the most recent one labeled” Now” and showing the current price. For the past few months, we’ve chosen what was the most prevalent price for each item in a given month.  ,
The historical price-tracker tool Keepa was used to most often get the price information used in these graphs from Amazon. For the iPhones, the prices come from Apple’s official materials and are based on the 128-gigabyte base model of the latest offering for each year: the iPhone 14, iPhone 15 and iPhone 16. The prices for the Xbox Series X were sourced from Best Buy using the comparison tool PriceTracker. If any of these products happen to be on sale at a given time, we’ll be sure to let you know and explain how those price drops differ from longer-term pricing trends that tariffs can cause.
Cele 11 produse pe care le monitorizăm
În principal, ceea ce urmărim în acest articol sunt dispozitive electronice și articole digitale pe care CNET le tratează în detaliu, cum ar fi, iPhone-uriși televizoare 4K accesibile – împreună cu o pungă obișnuită de cafea, un produs mai modest care nu este fabricat în SUA într-o măsură semnificativă.
The products featured were chosen for a few reasons: Some of them are popular and/or affordable representatives for major consumer tech categories, like smartphones, TVs and game consoles. Other products, such as printer ink or coffee beans, are intended to represent items that consumers might purchase more frequently. Some products were chosen over others because they are likely more susceptible to tariffs. These products have been included in some of our best lists or have received CNET’s review.
Mai jos, vom detalia fiecare produs în parte și vom rămâne până la sfârșit pentru o trecere în revistă a altor produse care merită menționate.
iPhone 16
The iPhone is the most popular smartphone brand in the US, so this was a clear priority for price tracking. Given its popularity and susceptibility to import taxes due to its overseas production, primarily in China, the iPhone has also become a major topic of conversation about tariffs. Trump has reportedly been fixated on the idea that the iPhone can and should be manufactured in the US, an idea that experts have dismissed as a fantasy. Additionally, estimates have suggested that a US-made iPhone could cost as much as$ 3,500.
Ceva de reținut despre acest grafic: prețul afișat este cel pe care îl veți vedea dacă vă cumpărați telefonul printr-un operator important. Vi se va percepe o taxă suplimentară de $ 30 dacă achiziționați un iPhone 16 direct de la Apple sau Best Buy fără a fi implicat un operator, așa că în unele locuri este posibil să găsiți prețul de listă al iPhone 16 standard afișat ca $ 830.
Apple a luat câteva măsuri pentru a-și proteja prețurile în fața acestor tarife, trimițând produse în vrac înainte ca acestea să intre în vigoare și planificând să mute producția pentru piața americană. din China până în IndiaUn număr șocant de 97 de unități iPhone importate din această ultimă națiune, între martie și mai, se îndreptau spre SUA, potrivit unui raport recent al Reuters. Această ultimă mișcare a stârnit din nou furia lui Trump, care a amenințat compania cu un tarif de 25 de unități iPhone dacă nu își mută producția în SUA, o idee pe care CEO-ul Tim Cook a respins-o în repetate rânduri în trecut. Viitorul acestei acțiuni pare a fi incert ca urmare a deciziei lui Trump de a scuti dispozitivele electronice de la tarife, inclusiv smartphone-urile.
Dispozitivul emblematic al Apple este încă cel mai bine vândut smartphone la nivel global, începând cu primul trimestru al acestui an, deși noi cercetări ale firmei Counterpoint sugerează că incertitudinea tarifară va provoacă stagnarea creșterii brandului puțin în restul anului 2025.
Baterii AA de la Duracell
Multe dintre produsele tehnologice din casa ta s-ar putea lăuda cu o sursă de energie reîncărcabilă, dar bateriile individuale sunt încă esențiale în fiecare zi și îți pot spune din experiență că, de îndată ce uiți de ele, va trebui să le refaci stocul. Bateriile Duracell AA pe care le urmărim sunt printre cele mai bine vândute de pe Amazon.
This particular pack hasn’t seen much shift in pricing in the last few months, but it’s currently around$ 3 off on Amazon, so it’s a good time to pick up some batteries if you need them.
Televizor Samsung DU7200
Alongside smartphones, televisions are some of the most popular tech products out there, even if they’re an infrequent purchase. This particular product is a well-known 4K TV that was chosen by CNET as the best overall budget TV for 2025. Unlike a lot of tech products that have key supply lines in China, Samsung is a South Korean company so it might have some measure of tariff resistance. We’ll have to wait and see if this is a temporary change or a more permanent change in pricing because this model is currently about$ 29 more expensive than usual on Amazon.
Xbox Series X
A segment of the market expected to suffer the most from Trump’s tariffs is video game hardware and software. Microsoft’s Xbox is the prima marcă de console care înregistrează creșteri de prețuri ,– the company cited “market conditions” along with the rising cost of development. Most notable was the price increase for the flagship Xbox Series X, which increased from$ 500 to$ 600. Numerous Xbox accessories also were affected and the company also said that “certain” games will eventually see a price hike from$ 70 to$ 80.
As a first-time consumer, we were monitoring the price of the much-advanced Nintendo Switch as a market representative. Nintendo has not yet hiked the price of its handheld-console hybrid and stressed that the$ 450 price tag of the upcoming Switch 2 has not yet been inflated because of tariffs. Sony, in contrast, has so far only increased prices for its PlayStation hardware in markets outside the US.
AirPods Pro 2
The most recent iteration of Apple’s wildly popular true-wireless earbuds is now available to market the headphones market. Much to the chagrin of the audiophiles out there, a quick look at diagrame de vânzări pe Amazon shows you just how much the brand dominates all headphone sales. Move fast if you want an affordable pair because they used to cost around$ 199 on the website earlier this year, which is a significant discount from its$ 249 list price. ( Or maybe just wait for the rumored AirPods Pro 3.)
HP 962 CMY printer ink is ink-jet.
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.
Acest produs a înlocuit filamentul Overture PLA pentru imprimantele 3D în acest articol, dar încă urmărim produsul respectiv.
30-watt power bank with a capacity of 10 000 mAh.
Accesoriile Anker sunt mereu populare în domeniul tehnologiei, iar compania a anunțat deja că unele dintre produsele sale vor... devin mai scumpe ca urmare directă a tarifelor. This particular item has also been listed among CNET’s top portable chargers. This particular model is showing as out-of-stock on Amazon for the time being, but was most recently back up to$ 26 after a brief sale.
Boxă TV Bose
Soundbars have become important purchases, given the often iffy quality of the speakers built into TVs. The Bose TV Speaker is one of the more affordable soundbar options available, especially considering it comes from a company that is as well-known as Bose, despite not being the biggest or best option in the market. This product has been one of the steadiest on this list in terms of price throughout the year, but it’s currently on sale for$ 199, potentially as part of Amazon’s Memorial Day sale. Therefore, this might be the time if you’re looking for a cheap, tariff-free TV speaker.
Periuță de dinți electrică Oral-B Pro 1000
Although electric toothbrushes are more expensive than their conventional counterparts, consumers still make them a popular choice because of how well they perform. 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.
Chromebookul Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i
One of the biggest laptop manufacturers is Lenovo, which is known for producing products in China that are particularly susceptible to Trump’s tariffs.
Cafea măcinată Starbucks (pungă de 28 de uncii)
Because of its widespread availability and because it is especially susceptible to Trump’s tariff agenda, coffee is included in this tracker. Famously, coffee beans can only be grown within a certain distance from Earth’s equator, a tropical span largely outside the US and known as the” Coffee Belt” . ,
With data de la USAFacts that shows that 11.5 million pounds of coffee beans were harvested there in the 2022-23 season, which is a mere drop in the mug because the US consumed 282 times that much coffee during that time, according to data de la USAFacts. Making matters worse, Hawaiian coffee production has declined in the past few years.
That said, Americans almost all of their coffee is produced abroad, making it one of the most likely products to see price increases result from tariff increases.
