- The OnePlus 3 watch now costs $ 499.99 in the United States
- He was originally to cost only $ 329.99
- The “Meda in China” watch is probably only the first of the many technological price increases
Although the position of the American government on import prices has softened for many regions (at least at the time of the drafting), it is still with full steam, the main import rights are imposed on the manufacturing goods of China. This is the reason why the new Watch OnePlus 3 costs $ 499.99 – $ 170 more than the price of $ 329.99 that had already been revealed for the smart watch.
OnePlus has not yet confirmed if the price increase is linked to the price, but we know that goods from China to the United States are currently faced at a rate of 145%. This amount only increased, because China and the United States seem to be locked in a trade war that does not want to retreat.
We know that it is made in China after a hit now infamous on the back, which said that the intelligent watch was “MEDA in China”. In fact, this has made the full release of the watch so far-perhaps inadvertently leading to this price increase because at that time, new major rates have been introduced.
In addition, while the apparatus has increased prices in the United States, in other countries, this is not the case. For example, in the British store, it still costs only £ 319.99, which suggests that this increase in costs is indeed a problem of American tariff.
A sign of what will happen
Unless the position of the American government on prices will change soon, you can expect prices to increase for your other favorite gadgets. Although smaller import rights could have been consumed by brands that seek to remain competitive on the American market, 154% of hikes are impossible to ignore and they will be transmitted to consumers.
You just can’t keep the prices in the same way if the products that previously cost, let’s say, $ 100 to make in China now at least must be sold in the United States for $ 254 – and it is before taking into account any type of beneficiary margin.
It will be particularly frustrating for people who seek to collect more favorable technologies on a budget like The OnePlus Watch 3. You will feel the pressure of technology costing a few hundred dollars more than people who were already happy to sleep a lot on high -end gadgets.
I would like us to be able to offer wise advice on what you should do to try to repel price increases, but apart from rushing to buy before starting to feel their bite, or hoping that they will leave, there is not much that you can do. And that does not help that the position of the American government on the prices seems to change every day – to make predictions of what will then happen almost impossible.
Our best advice is that you are ready to make your existing technology last longer – or to buy used or renovation technology that will not be subject to import rights because it is already in the United States. Because in the foreseeable future, the new technology will feel even more like a luxury than before.
