Apple raises prices as AI chip costs surge
Apple has increased prices for some iPads, MacBooks, HomePods, and Apple TVs due to rising costs of AI-related memory and storage chips. The company attributes the price hikes to surging demand for DRAM and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) from AI data centers, a situation dubbed 'RAMageddon.' Analysts warn iPhone prices may also rise in the future.
