Apple Raises MacBook and iPad Prices in India Amid Global Chip Cost Surge

Ten News Network

Greater Noida News (26/06/2026): Apple has announced a significant increase in the prices of several of its premium products, including MacBook and iPad models, making the devices considerably more expensive for consumers in India and several other markets. The revised pricing has been updated on the company’s official website and is now effective across eligible product categories.

According to the latest price revision, the cost of select Apple devices has increased by approximately 20 to 42 percent. The steepest hike has been recorded in certain MacBook Pro models powered by Apple’s latest M5-series chips, with prices increasing by as much as ₹1 lakh depending on the configuration. Several iPad models have also witnessed notable price revisions, adding to the cost burden for customers planning to purchase Apple’s premium devices.

Apple has attributed the price increase to the rising cost of manufacturing components, particularly memory chips, processors, and other critical hardware used in its products. The company said that increasing production expenses, coupled with ongoing global supply chain challenges and higher semiconductor costs, have significantly raised the overall manufacturing cost of its devices.

Industry experts believe that the growing demand for high-performance memory and storage chips, largely driven by the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure and data centres worldwide, has further tightened component supplies. As a result, technology manufacturers, including Apple, are facing higher procurement costs, which are now being reflected in retail prices.

The latest price revision is expected to have a direct impact on professionals, creators, students, and business users who rely on Apple’s premium MacBook and iPad lineup. Buyers planning to upgrade to the latest M5-powered MacBook Pro models will now need to allocate a substantially higher budget, while many consumers may opt for older-generation devices or wait for festive discounts and promotional offers.

Despite the increase in MacBook and iPad prices, Apple has not announced any official price revision for its iPhone lineup at this time. However, analysts suggest that if component costs continue to rise, future product launches across Apple’s portfolio could also witness pricing adjustments.

The latest revision highlights the growing impact of global semiconductor costs and AI-driven hardware demand on the consumer electronics industry. As manufacturing expenses continue to climb, premium technology products are becoming increasingly expensive, posing fresh challenges for consumers looking to invest in high-end devices.
