> Diluted earnings per share was $2.10, up 14 percent year over year, and included a favorable impact of $0.05 from tariff refunds.

In other words, the money consumers used to pay Trump's tariffs was not refunded to the consumers, but went straight to Apple's bottom line instead.

If I remember correctly, Apple didn't put up prices due to the tariffs, they ate it out of their bottom line.

They waited until AFTER the tariffs went away to raise their prices! :D

Apple rarely updates prices on existing products, outside of price drops on previous-generation iPhones. It was a big deal when they raised prices on everything a few months ago in response to RAM costs.
