Apple just raised Mac and iPad prices, and that’s bad news for Android, too

TL;DR Apple has raised prices across several products, including the MacBook Neo, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iPad Air, iPad Pro, and HomePod lineup, just days after Tim Cook warned about rising component costs. iPhone prices remain unchanged for now, but future models, including the iPhone 18 series, could eventually see similar increases. Apple’s higher prices may have a ripple effect across the industry, giving Android and other competitors more room to raise prices.
