Apple iPhones, iPads And MacBooks Are Getting More Expensive
Apple products continue to see global inflation as prices rise across the board. Industry analysts cite a combination of factors, including increased demand for the company’s products, rising labor costs, and tariffs on imported components. The iPhone 14 range, M2 MacBook Pros and iPad 10 have increased by an average of 10%, 15% and 50%, respectively, and there are notable outliers.
M2 MacBook Pros are over 20% more expensive in Sweden and Japan. iPhone 14 models are 20-35% more expensive in Hungary, Poland, Sweden and Japan, and the iPad 10 is 60-92% more expensive in the same countries.This trend is not limited to Apple’s flagship products, as the company’s accessories and peripherals have also seen similar price increases. While not included in the Nukeni report, Apple’s AirPods and Apple Watches have seen price rises of up to 15% in several markets.Perhaps predictably, two of the biggest winners in Nukeni’s report are China and the United States, where MacBook and iPhone pricing was unchanged generation on generation. Demand for Apple products remains strong, with the company reporting record sales in its most recent financial quarter.
