Apple’s MacBooks and iPads are getting more expensive as the memory crunch deepens

Apple has hiked prices for certain MacBooks and iPads due to a significant rise in memory chip costs, a trend that's been exacerbated by strong earnings from Micron, a major memory chip supplier. This price increase highlights the broader challenges in the tech supply chain, where shortages and rising costs are squeezing margins for tech giants. The implications extend beyond Apple, indicating potential price hikes for other tech products reliant on memory chips, affecting consumers and the overall market dynamics.
