The company\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>According to Apple\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p><span>Here\u2019s a breakdown of all the price increases spotted on Apple\u2019s website (per <\/span>MacRumors<span>):<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>HomePod mini<\/strong><span>: $129, up from $99 (+$30)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>HomePod<\/strong><span>: $349, up from $299 (+$50)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Apple TV<\/strong><span>: $199, up from $129 (+$70)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>iPad<\/strong><span>: $449, up from $349 (+$100)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>iPad mini<\/strong><span>: $599, up from $449 (+$100)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>iPad Air<\/strong><span>: $749, up from $599 (+$150)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>iPad Pro<\/strong><span>: $1,199, up from $999 (+$200)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>MacBook Neo<\/strong><span>: $699, up from $599 (+$100)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>MacBook Air<\/strong><span>: $1,299, up from $1,099 (+$200)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>MacBook Pro<\/strong><span>: $1,999 up from $1,699 (+$300)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>iMac<\/strong><span>: $1,499, up from $1,299 (+$200)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Mac mini (M4 Pro)<\/strong><span>: $1,599, up from $1,399 (+$200)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Mac Studio (M4 Max)<\/strong><span>: $2,499, up from $1,999 (+$500)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Mac Studio (M3 Ultra)<\/strong><span>: $5,299, up from&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theshortcut.com\/p\/apple-price-hikes-ipad-mac-vision-pro-more\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple hikes prices of iPad, Mac, and more as RAM and component costs soar https:\/\/www.theshortcut.com\/p\/apple-price-hikes-ipad-mac-vision-pro-more&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":281496,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!zZ8L!,w_1200,h_675,c_fill,f_jpg,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep,g_auto\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd0ce7d3e-c602-45c8-9caf-fe668e09af04_4240x2832.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[52,53,54,50,51],"class_list":["post-281494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-macintosh","tag-imac","tag-mac-mini","tag-mac-studio","tag-macbook-air","tag-macbook-pro"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281494"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281494"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281494\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":281498,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281494\/revisions\/281498"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
