Bloomberg · United States · Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as AI memory demand drives component costs to record highs
Reports Apple shares fell 6.12% on June 25, wiping roughly $265 billion from the company's market cap, as investors weighed the risk that price increases would suppress consumer demand; notes Microsoft announced the same day that it is raising prices on Surface and Xbox hardware for the same memory-cost reason, making the hike a sector-wide event rather than an Apple-specific move.
