Apple raises prices for MacBooks and iPads, as costs soar over AI

Ruby Fraser2026-06-25T19:48:44.000Z

Great, just what we needed. Another reason to sell a kidney for a laptop.

Casey Adams2026-06-25T20:11:44.000Z

apple can get stuffed honestly. this 'ramageddon' is just an excuse to milk more cash from fanboys

Tom Harris2026-06-25T20:55:44.000Z

cope harder mate, apple fanboys will still line up for the new one

Blake Turner2026-06-25T20:33:44.000Z

Ah well, guess I'll stick with my 2015 MacBook for another decade. Still works fine for emails and trademe.

Ella Thompson2026-06-25T21:02:44.000Z

same. my 2017 ipad is still going strong, no need to upgrade

Tom Harris2026-06-25T20:40:44.000Z

ffs these companies just use AI as an excuse for everything these days. 'oh AI is making prices go up' yeah right mate

But like, do we even need AI in everything? My toaster doesn't need artificial intelligence thanks

Ruby Fraser2026-06-25T21:16:44.000Z

bet your toaster still does it better than Siri 😂

Wait so the memory and storage costs are going up because of AI? That's actually mental. So everyone pays more because some tech bro wants to generate pictures of cats?

Casey Adams2026-06-25T21:58:44.000Z

exactly! and they wonder why ppl are moving away from apple

Ruby Fraser2026-06-25T21:36:44.000Z

honestly at this point just buy a second hand thinkpad and put linux on it. way cheaper and still does the job

Casey Adams2026-06-25T21:51:44.000Z

lol imagine still buying apple in 2026 couldn't be me

Blake Turner2026-06-25T22:37:44.000Z

nah you do you, but some of us actually need software that works

Blake Turner2026-06-25T22:01:44.000Z

Yeah nah, I'll stick with my Android tablet. $300 and does everything I need without the apple tax.

Tom Harris2026-06-25T22:09:44.000Z

yeah but the 'apple tax' gets you updates for years, try that with your droid
