No it wouldn’t. Apple has massive margins and a tariff would just eat a tiny bit of their profits.

Apple is under price pressure in a competitive market and if they could raise their price they would have. Companies can’t just raise their price whenever they want.

People who argue that wages determine prices are basically subscribing to the labor theory of value, which no one believes any more but some Marxists.

Prices are set by supply, demand and marginal cost.
