...Apple was already doing it because both Biden and Trump were on the same course when it comes to putting tariffs on China. Tariffs work for this purpose...

Btw, have you really reviewed all Apple public financial statements? I didn’t so I don’t want to claim something doesn’t exist there.

Nope, I never claimed anything of the sort of course, I am basing all of the understandings I have off the research I can do on publicly avalible stats and statements. I'm just replying to your "someone make a counterpoint" comment like you asked. Despite saying you haven't reviewed Apples financials and that you don't want to claim something that doesn't exist, you seem very set on the fact that tarrifs were a major factor. I agree that Apple would never state the reason, they are a ~~private~~ company and are allowed to do so, I'd probably do the same.

Edit: Don't know why I said private, they are publicly traded but still have no requirement to disclose their reasonings to the general public.
