Summary

Apple has announced price increases of up to 25% across most products, including iPads (up to $330 more) and refurbished Macs. While iPhones may be excluded initially, analysts expect significant hikes when new models launch in the fall — potentially exceeding $200 for Pro/Pro Max models. The price surge is attributed to a memory price crisis and supply-demand gap affecting devices with memory, processors, or storage. IDC predicts iPhone sales will decline by 5% even as the broader industry shrinks.
