the idea is called ‘transfer pricing’.
the concept is that the markup is realized
in a jurisdiction that has a low tax rate.

<<<<< there are a hundred different ways to do it>>>>>
I don’t know the exact scam that Apple uses.

it could be.... Apple-USA has to buy a 2-cent-part from
Ireland, but has to pay $300 for that part.
Or it could involve packaging, or patents and copyrights.

I'm well aware of what it's called and how it works. It works only within a company by transferring stock and costs. Apple does not use that technique and has shown they do not use that technique. Apple does not own the factories that manufacture their products. Nor, as they were accused by the senate committee, transferring their patents and copyrights to Ireland. Get it through you thick skull, that this innuendo by this author was not found to be the case. As you said "you don't know," so, ergo, you really don't know at all what you are talking about.
