As noted by MacRumors, Apple has increased Mac and iPad prices “dramatically across the board.” The hikes are due to the rising cost of memory and storage chips.
Here are the changes: MacBook Neo: $699, up from $599
- MacBook Air: $1,299, up from $1,099
- MacBook Pro: $1,999 up from $1,699
- Mac mini: $799, up from $699
- Mac Studio (M4 Max): $2,499, up from $1,999
- Mac Studio (M3 Ultra): $5,299, up from $3,999\
- MacBook Neo, $699, up from $599;
- iPad Air, $749, up from $599;
- iPad Pro, $1.199, up from $999;
- Vision Pro, $3,699, up from $3,499;
- HomePod mini, $129, up from $99.
However, iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods pricing is unchanged.
In a statement to Reuters, Apple said: We have never seen a component price increase this much, this quickly. We have shielded our customers from these increases so far, but we have now reached a point where we need to begin raising prices on a number of products, including today’s increases for iPad and Mac.
