People need to stop thinking this way.  It is not the other countries or the companies importing the products that pay the tariffs.  It is the American Consumer that pays the tariff.

Worth repeating.  The consumer pays for *everything*.  Tariffs?  Repairable phones?  Power supplies for every device?  An SD card reader in every Mac?  The consumer pays.

Is it even legal to tariff a specific company? 

Targeting a company would seem to be a clear violation of the concept of "Equal Protection" as found in the U.S. Constitution.  Put simply, laws are supposed to apply to everyone, equally.  As pointed out by others, the current administration doesn't seem to care about such trivialities.

and then they disappear because "Apple doesn't own them" and the publisher removed them.

What are these movies that have disappeared?  Can you name some?

The reason I ask is that I have been buying movies on iTunes/Apple TV since 2006 and they are all still available to stream, whether Apple is still selling them or not.

I think a far better headline would have been "macOS flaw that allowed attackers to bypass core system protections was fixed over a month ago - before you even heard of it"

The App Store is an Apple product.  Saying that Apple has a monopoly on it is like saying that Ford has a monopoly on the F-150.
