Gadgets Are Getting More Expensive, But Not Even Amazon Wants to Say ‘Tariffs’

Consumers in the U.S. should expect higher tech prices due to President Trump’s tariffs, with many companies raising prices secretly across various product categories like TVs, wearables, gaming devices, and chargers. Companies such as Acer, Nintendo, Sony, Samsung, Amazon, Logitech, MSI, and OnePlus have all increased their prices without explicitly citing tariffs, often blaming other factors or facing backlash from Trump’s administration. While some companies like Apple are shifting supply chains to countries outside tariffs’ impact zones, the overall trend shows rising costs with little transparency or support for cost reductions from big tech or government.
