A 40% increase? I hope not…Get ready for a similar price increase on the new MacBook Pro.
It will also help when the whatever curves are flattened, about two weeks is what we all need to flatten it all out… (put this phrase on repeat every month for the next 2 years at least).Don't worry -- I'm sure the price will come back down once chip shortages and supply constraints are ironed out..

That is unacceptable as a 60% price increase. Something like 10-20% would be acceptable and understandable.
I could use a hug too.Jobs bought a $3.5 million dollar historical mansion and let it fall into disrepair over the course of 11 years just so he would have an excuse to destroy it just to build a “smaller less complicated house”.
But since he died before being able to build a house after successfully demolishing the nightmare he created out of pure greed, he never flaunted money in fancy housing... /s
jfc you people and this weird deifying of Jobs.
You can pay for the upcoming MacBook Pro with some all new finance plans if you can't stretch for the eye watering one-off RRP cost. That's what Apple will want people to do. Finance, finance, finance...That's a BIG price increase!
Doesn't bode well for the new MacBook Pro, Apple knows people want them and even if there are extra costs I'm sure Apple will want to add an extra premium.
- I will still pay it, for my sins. 😕

Apple will more than likely disable wired headphones through hardware change than bringing revolutionary battery tech, cause, all modern iPhone do not have a headphone jack anymore right? And they can still say “you can enjoy lossless audio through our $100 speaker”.I'd love to recommend these, but can't. My Beats X lasted only a year and a half. Battery replacement looks nearly impossible. I'll stick with my wired earphones until battery technology makes some huge strides.
What I am concerning is Apple having mercy and not destroying us during the current economic uncertainty.In this time of economic uncertainty, I am really concerned for Apple. I hope they can survive this difficult period.
Tim wants $750 trillion. $750 million is like pocket change for him.That 750 million you just got wasn’t enough Tim Apple? 🤔

Worst Apple product that I have ever owned.40%. Yikes. They’re worth £10 max without the Beats badge. One of the worst products ever to come out of Cupertino.
That's a BIG price increase!

Just bought a pair of AirDots 2 for $12, direct from Xiaomi. Seems like chip shortages and price increases only affect certain companies. 😆
