Jefferies on Apple (AAPL): iPhone 18 Price Hike Likely

Jefferies analyst Edison Lee reiterated a Hold rating and $188.32 price target on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL).

The analyst commented: "We saw more evidence of strong iPhone demand in 2Q25, as key US telcos reported ~22% growth in equipment sales in 2Q driven by pull-in, the highest in the last 6 Qs. So CP/IDC's reported growth (4%/1.5%) may be an under-estimate. Separately, we expect a US$50 selling price hike for iPhone 17 Slim/P/PM to offset higher component costs and China tariff. Others such as India tariff, sectorial tariff and lower yield in India are not yet covered."
