But it seems these two giants are not done with price hikes yet. Neither company has explicitly said that more price hikes are coming, but their statements suggest otherwise. Take, for example, this statement that Apple shared with The Washington Post earlier today. “We have now reached a…
When Apple finally caved to the memory crisis and increased prices across Mac and iPad on June 25, 2026, most people reacted with disbelief, frustration, or resigned acceptance. Mine was a quiet, slightly wicked smile, and in about two to three minutes, you’ll understand exactly why. My M1 MacBook Air (8GB, 256GB) has been showing its age since last year.

It looks like Apple’s silicon strategy is primed for yet another big overhaul. According to a fresh report by Bloomberg, the upcoming M6 processor will only get a baseline version, and there won’t be any Pro or Max variants offered for it. Instead, Apple is reserving those powerful upgrades for the M7 series of silicon, including an Ultra version planned for it. “The company is taking this unusual step in order to fast-track technologies that it originally planned to release later.
