## Resource

Apple’s quietly hiking prices on select gear like the MacBook Neo and iPads, but the iPhone and Apple Watch remain untouched—for now. Experts suspect Apple’s holding off on price increases for its flagship devices, planning a major update later this year, likely in the fall. With chip shortages and rising costs looming, it’s expected that eventually, no Apple product will escape the price surge.
