## Resource

Apple just hiked prices on MacBooks, iPads, and HomePods—some by as much as 33%—blaming soaring demand for memory and storage chips fueling the AI boom. The tech giant calls it “RAMageddon,” admitting it’s the biggest and fastest component price surge they’ve ever seen. iPhones haven’t jumped yet, but a fall price hike is likely, especially with a rumored $2,000+ foldable model possibly launching this September. If you’re eyeing Apple gear, now might be the time to buy—or risk paying more later. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
