Apple raises prices on MacBook and iPad models

Apple has implemented significant price increases across several of its entry-level devices. The MacBook Neo is seeing a 14 percent rise, the MacBook Air is increasing by nearly 17 percent, and the iPad A16 is experiencing a price jump of almost 30 percent. These hikes affect the company’s more accessible models, potentially reducing affordability for students and budget-conscious consumers.

In contrast to these rising manufacturer prices, the Dutch provider KPN is offering a temporary promotion on the MacBook Neo. Through a deal involving internet and TV subscriptions, customers can obtain the device for as low as 229 euros, a substantial reduction from its standard 699 euro retail price.
