They didn’t increase prices on iPhones, Apple Watch and Airpods

Those are next in line, it’s almost guaranteed.

I've heard that the iPhone price is going up, and they've already started paying you more to trade-in the last generation.

September new versions will likely start at a price point than they would have

		Yes, and seems they are only releasing the Pros and the foldable this year, and will release the base and e models in Spring.

For sure but an iPhone has more RAM than a Neo and those went up $100, so they’re at least eating the price difference for another ~3 months

		Yeah, iPhone is nearly half of Apple's revenue or more, it's in their interest to eat a little margin away to keep it moving, increase will come with the 18 this fall. All their other products are lower volume.

		Only the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air have 12GB of RAM, and they're ~10 weeks away from new models so probably well past their peak sales.

		Yeah I don’t think they will touch current models.

Why would AirPod prices increase?

Everything competing for fab capacity is more expensive. The Apple H2 is 7nm and TSMC has raised prices for that capacity.

		The H2 is also tiny and the price is not per-chip but per wafer - so the price increase should be marginal per chip.

There are many rumors that the new iPhone 18 Pro will start at ~$1300.

So maybe their mobile hardware will be next.

I’d say they’re subsidizing them with the rest but the computers and iPads don’t sell much compared to phones so that doesn’t make a lot of sense.

I happened to buy an iPad 2 days ago, dang I got lucky. I thought they’d announce before the iPhone launch but had no idea it would be this soon.
