While the company has already revised prices upward on several devices, new comments indicate that iPhones, Apple Watches and AirPods could also come under pressure in the coming months. The timing is important as Apple is heading into a new product cycle later this year, which typically includes its flagship iPhone refresh.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement shared with multiple media outlets, including Bloomberg, Apple acknowledged the situation more directly than before. The company said, \u201cWe have now reached a point where we need to begin raising prices on a number of products, including today\u2019s (June 25) increases for iPad and Mac.\u201d The phrasing is what has drawn attention, especially the use of \u201cbegin raising prices,\u201d which suggests that the adjustments seen recently may not be isolated moves but part of a wider pricing approach. The words chosen by the company in the statement give a clear suggestion that more hikes could be coming on other products as well.<\/p>\n<h3>Apple hints another round of pricing changes are likely ahead<\/h3>\n<p>CNBC reported that Apple said, \u201cThe consumer electronics industry is facing an unprecedented challenge,\u201d adding, \u201cThe rapid expansion of AI data centers has created an extraordinary surge in demand for memory and storage.
