Apple has raised the pricing of its Macs, iPads, Apple TV and HomePod gadgets substantially in India as global DRAM and NAND memory prices climb, but kept the iPhone price unchanged. Apple’s price hikes are affecting products across the company’s range with some models 89% higher. In response to skyrocketing worldwide memory and storage costs, Apple has begun to pass the higher expense on to customers in India by dramatically raising the prices of a number of goods. These products include Mac desktops, MacBooks, iPads, Apple TV, and HomePod devices. Regardless of the amount of pressure on costs, the business has refrained from announcing any price hikes for iPhones in India or anywhere else. Apple has already hinted at the change, stating in April that the current stock had protected margins and mitigated the effect of increasing memory costs. Nevertheless, it had mentioned that such advantages were anticipated to expire by the conclusion of June. It is mainly because of the impact of the extraordinary spikes in DRAM and NAND prices on its cost structure. The starting price for the MacBook Air (512GB) has increased from INR 1,19,900 to INR 1,37,900. Additionally, following an initial launch price of INR 59,900, Apple has increased the price of its entry-level MacBook Neo to INR 79,900 from INR 69,900.

After initially costing INR 1,19,900, the price of the 13-inch MacBook Air with the M5 CPU has increased to INR 1,49,900, while the price of the 15-inch model has increased to INR 1,79,900, from INR 1,44,900.

In comparison, the price of the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M5 Max CPU has increased by INR 1 lakh since its launch. The price of the 11-inch iPad Air (M4) has jumped from INR 64,900 to INR 89,900, while the price of the iPad Pro (M5, 256GB) has gone up from INR 99,990 to INR 1,39,900. The home entertainment products made by Apple have also seen significant price hikes. With a price increase of about 89%, the steepest throughout Apple's portfolio, the 64GB Apple TV 4K is now INR 25,900, up from INR 14,900. The 128GB option, meanwhile, has skyrocketed to INR 31,900, up from INR 16,900. Prices for the HomePod have increased to INR 44,900 from INR 32,900, and for the HomePod mini, the price has jumped to INR 15,900 from INR 10,900.
