## Resource

Apple just raised prices on iPads and MacBooks globally, with the base iPad jumping to $749 and the iPad mini hitting $949 — a 25% surge for some models. Driven by soaring demand for memory chips fueled by AI, Apple says it’s finally passing on absorbed costs. Microsoft’s Xbox consoles are also getting pricier. iPhones remain untouched for now, but experts warn prices could climb later this year. Retailers in Australia are still holding older prices, but the tech cost inflation trend is undeniable — one chip shortage affecting everything from laptops to gaming gear.
