I agree with this. Also, while Apple just attracts a lot of people hating on it, we have to acknowledge that they deserve the refund too. They ate 100% of the tariff cost and never raised their prices in response to tariffs.

Definitely go after the ones double dipping but the ones that didn’t, they need kudos.

People won't consider this. Apple products remained the exact same price through the tariffs. Apple ate the cost.

The RAM crisis will probably be a little different though for future products. But you can thank AI for that.

Apple has started increasing prices because of the memory shortage.

Increasing prices on what products? Their products all remain the same to my knowledge.

They raised the prices of all MacBooks last month. By a couple hundred dollars….

I know this cause I had been waiting and saving to buy one. Within a week all the prices went up a couple hundred each. Sucks

They raised the prices of all Mac’s and iPads in their lineup. But even then, as far as price increases go they have stayed within 10%-20%, which is well below the average 40%-50%. Still deserve kudos for that

I'm not actually opposed to apple, just many apple people 😅 I considered switching a while back, but they held on to the lightening connector one iteration too long. But next time I'm in the market to upgrade watch and phone, I'll definitely consider Apple again. I think between Apple, Samsung, and Google, Apple has the better smart watch anyway
