Apple said it had "never seen a component price increase this much, this quickly". Apple has significantly hiked prices for its Mac and iPad models in India, attributing the surge to soaring memory and storage component costs driven by the global AI boom. The MacBook Pro lineup has seen the steepest increases, with some models jumping by as much as Rs 70,000.
