Apple has increased the prices of several products in India, including MacBooks, iPads, Apple TV 4K, HomePod, and HomePod Mini devices. The latest Apple price hike India update comes as the company faces rising costs of memory and storage components worldwide. According to reports, growing demand from AI data centres has pushed RAM and NAND flash prices higher, forcing technology companies to revise product pricing.
The biggest increase has been seen in the MacBook Pro M5 Max, which now costs Rs 1 lakh more than its previous price. However, Apple’s iPhone lineup remains unaffected for now, with the iPhone 17 continuing to sell at its original launch price.
