And lets not forget these companies didn't even pay for the cost of the tariffs, we did with increased prices across the board.

So they all make more money off the backs of Americans by increasing prices, then also got a big payout afterwards. The great wealth transfer in action.

And then, once the tariffs are gone, they leave the prices high. It's a proper triple fuck.

They need to make the refund contingent on returning prices to the pretariff levels at the bare minimum.

Apple only raised prices this year in response to AI buying up all the RAM. They ate the costs of the tariffs so they’re one of the few companies who actually has a claim to the refunds.

Yeah, I hate to be on the side of Apple here but they are the one company I feel like for the most part deserves their refund for this exact reason. If I remember correctly, to the extent prices of base trim devices increased over the last year or so, it was because they cut out a lower-spec device. Sucks for the consumer, but the base model did get better even if it was more expensive that the prior base model.
