Apple Raises Prices on Almost Everything

At 12:24 · chapter starts 6:28

On a Thursday, Apple briefly took its store offline and returned with new prices across virtually every product it sells. Marques walks through the full landscape: the MacBook Neo jumps from $599 to $699, the M4 Mac Studio rises $500, the M3 Ultra Mac Studio climbs a staggering $1,300, and the iPad Air 11-inch moves from $599 to $749 — a shift that Marques argues pushes it into a psychologically different price tier. The Apple TV's jump from $129 to $199 is called out as perhaps the highest percentage increase of the bunch — nearly 40% — for a product with almost no RAM. The HomePod mini goes from $99 to $129. Apple Vision Pro, by contrast, rose only $200, which Andrew attributes partly to optics and partly to poor sales volume. The hosts note that the increases don't directly track to each product's RAM content, suggesting Apple is cross-subsidizing some products with revenues from others.

Apple TV Up ~40%: The Most Surprising Price Jump

The Apple TV went from $129 to $199 — a near-40% price spike for a product that barely uses any RAM. The hosts couldn't explain why it needed to go up at all, suggesting Apple may be using low-volume products to cross-subsidize price stability on high-volume items like the iPhone.
