Tim Cook has an obligation towards the shareholders and takes it seriously. As an Apple shareholder who doesn’t live in the US, moving to US chip suppliers would not help with his obligations towards me.

I do like the US - don’t get me wrong - but Apple is in the business of making devices, not making investments the government should be at least facilitating.



That's why we need tariffs, to make Apple suffer financially if they refuse to move production back to the US.


As a shareholder, I wouldn't be impressed. As a supporter of a more just and equal planet, I'd be in.

Be mindful that such tariffs wouldn't hit Apple alone.


"For a company with a market valuation of over 2T dollars at the time of import, import tariffs ..." :)
