As trade tensions escalate and new tariffs hit global suppliers, a wide range of electronics are about to get more expensive.
Factor in lingering chip shortages and rising freight costs, and it’s a perfect storm.
Traders on Kalshi think there’s a good chance President Donald Trump makes a deal in the near future.
But, that said, here are the electronics to snag now — before the price tags jump
Computers and Laptops
Most laptops and desktops rely on Chinese-made components. With U.S. tariffs on Chinese tech imports rising, expect prices to spike — especially on budget and midrange models.
Smartphones
Top brands like Apple and Samsung face higher costs from tariffs and component delays. That shiny new phone might cost you an extra $100 soon.
TVs and Monitors
Many affordable flat-screens are assembled overseas using parts from tariff-affected countries. Prices are already climbing, particularly on larger screens.
Game Consoles
Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch consoles depend heavily on Asian supply chains. If you’ve been holding out, don’t wait too long — inventory is tightening.
Smart Home Devices
From thermostats to security cams, most smart devices are built in China or use Chinese chips. Tariffs and delays could make that next upgrade a lot pricier.
PC Graphics Cards
Already volatile from crypto demand and supply issues, GPUs are facing new tariffs and rising costs again — especially high-performance models.
Kitchen Appliances
Microwaves, blenders, and other small appliances often include imported electronics. The latest round of tariffs may soon hit these essentials.
Electric Toothbrushes and Grooming Tools
Personal care gadgets built abroad are quietly being hit with tariffs too. Expect to pay more for Sonicare or Braun.
Cameras and Drones
Manufacturing costs are up, and new import fees on lithium batteries and lenses could drive prices even higher.
Wearables (Smartwatches, Fitness Bands)
Heavily reliant on foreign tech and production, wearables are expected to be among the first to reflect price increases.
