Analysis Summary
Bernie Sanders did criticize Apple's price hikes as corporate greed despite the company's $112 billion profit in 2025 โ this is verified across multiple outlets. The post's core claim is accurate, though the specific $89 billion buyback figure cannot be independently confirmed from the search results. Sanders' broader argument โ that a highly profitable company raising prices reflects greed rather than necessity โ is a legitimate policy criticism, but the post uses charged framing (all-caps "BREAKING" and emoji) to amplify what is fundamentally a political commentary on income inequality and corporate priorities.
