Summary
Apple products have become pricier as the company heads into a fresh launch cycle that includes new iPhones, Mac mini desktops and much of its iPad lineup.
AI-driven inflation in memory and storage components is pushing up costs, making already-premium Apple devices more expensive for buyers.
The release wave appears set to continue within weeks, with a new iPad mini and connected-home hardware also expected.
The price increases leave consumers facing higher upgrade costs across Apple’s ecosystem even before the next round of devices fully arrives.
