Summary
Apple just shattered its decades-long pricing stability by hiking MacBook and iPad prices—marking a seismic shift in the tech world. Fueled by an AI-driven memory chip shortage, the company raised prices on its flagship devices, including the MacBook Air and iPad Pro, while iPhones and wearables remain untouched for now. The surge stems from AI data centers gobbling up RAM, forcing chipmakers to prioritize AI clients and leaving consumer electronics scrambling. With chip prices skyrocketing and global PC and smartphone sales projected to decline, Apple’s move signals that the AI boom is now bleeding into everyday tech costs—ending an era of predictable pricing forever.
