“I think the days of $50 price increases are over," said IDC analyst Nabila Popal. Asian technology stocks slumped after Apple Inc. and Microsoft Corp. raised prices for their products, stoking concern that rising component costs will curb demand for devices and eventually slow the memory chip rally that has powered much of the AI trade. Apple's recent price hikes on MacBooks and iPads in India signal a significant shift in consumer electronics, driven by the AI boom.
