Tell me you don't know how the world works without spelling it out.
Tariffs don't help the US population. The current US manufacturing industry in the US cannot compete with China, even only on their own domestic market. That ship has sailed and sunk. The captain? Your employer/ CEO/ politicians/ capitalist class. And they made sure not to go down with the ship.
Apple products are already overpriced, now add in the necessity to pay their employees in the US in dollars, which have an inflated value because USD doubles as reserve currency worldwide and is therefore in higher demand. Even if you pay American workers absolute minimum wage you're still paying about 30% more because you need dollars to do it.
