• 📈 Apple has increased the price of many of its products due to component prices

Apple has increased the price of many of its products. The company’s online store went down early this morning, leaving many to wonder whether it was for a new product or some other type of announcement. Instead, all the prices disappeared, eventually being replaced by higher price tags for virtually every iPad and Mac, the Vision Pro, and even the aging HomePod.

According to Apple’s online store, the price increases are quite dramatic. One of the biggest headlining increases involves the MacBook Neo, which has gone from a $599 starting price to $699. The biggest jump is the M3 Ultra version of the Mac Studio, which went from $3,999 to a whopping $5,299 ($1,300 extra). The baseline iPad is now $100 more expensive at $449, the iPad Pro now starts at $1,199 instead of $999, and the Vision Pro costs more than ever at $3,699 instead of $3,499.
