It’s kind of a bummer that price increases are coming for everything — desktops, laptops, tablets, phones. No one is getting out of this one.
I was curious about my own — the 15-inch MacBook Air M5 I grabbed on launch day in March. It’s now $1,699. That’s a $200 jump from what I paid.
The short version is that AI demand is eating up memory supply, and every major PC brand is passing those costs to us. Dell, HP, Lenovo — all of them. Apple just made it official today. I wrote about this coming a few days ago — and today it became official.
Glad I bought when I did. But I feel bad for anyone looking to buy Apple right now.
