💸 Apple can’t escape the AI chip crunch

We did warn you, though.

📈 Apple has raised prices on most of its product lineup as the AI boom fuels massive demand for memory and storage chips, pushing component costs higher across the industry.

ℹ️ Tim Cook has previously warned that price hikes were becoming increasingly difficult to avoid, with AI data centers competing for the same hardware used in consumer devices. So far, iPhones, AirPods, and Apple Watches have avoided increases – but Apple says future pricing adjustments are still possible.
