    NEWApple and Xbox Raise Prices Up To 20% Due To Soaring Chip Costs

    Apple has increased prices on some MacBooks and iPads by almost 20%, citing an “unprecedented challenge” from rising memory and storage chip costs. Xbox also raised its console prices for the second time in less than a year for the same reason. These increases are driven by high demand for chips powering AI data centers, creating an imbalance between supply and demand in the electronics industry.
