## Resource

Apple’s about to raise prices on its gear as chip costs skyrocket — driven by AI giants like Google and Amazon gobbling up memory and storage — forcing Tim Cook to admit it’s unavoidable. With chip prices quadrupling and Apple absorbing costs for too long, the next iPhone could hit $1,299, a $200 jump from last year’s model, possibly launching in September. Consumers may feel the pinch, but Apple’s trying to keep things as fair as possible while balancing the books. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
