10–20%typical size of Apple's June 2026 price increases
This is a look back at an event from . We wrote it on November 11, 2026, from the sources listed at the end.
Apple raised prices on June 25, 2026, across its Mac and iPad lineups and on the HomePod, HomePod mini, Apple TV and Vision Pro. MacRumors reported that many increases were between 10% and 20%, and that some reached 50% or more.
Why it mattered
Apple rarely raises the price of products already on sale, and almost never across so many at once.
The likely pressure is memory. Demand from AI data centers has pushed up the cost of memory and storage chips. The Wall Street Journal later reported that suppliers had gained leverage over Apple and that shortages could last for years, which we noted in our story on Apple's touchscreen Macs.
For buyers, the old advice that a Mac gets cheaper to wait for no longer held.
