Apple has initiated a series of price increases across its product lineup. Following earlier hikes in June affecting iPads, Macs, Apple TV, and HomePod devices, CEO Tim Cook announced that upcoming increases would extend to the iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods, likely coinciding with the September iPhone launch.

Subsequent price adjustments have been implemented on entry-level models, including a 14 percent rise for the MacBook Neo, nearly 17 percent for the MacBook Air, and approximately 30 percent for the iPad A16. While manufacturer prices rise, some regional promotions, such as a deal from the Dutch provider KPN, have offered temporary reductions on specific models like the MacBook Neo.
