Apple price hike: Check updated prices of MacBook Neo, Mac mini M4, iPads and HomePod

The inevitable consequences of memory chip prices increasing have now knocked at the door of Apple fans as the Cupertino based tech giant has raised the prices of its MacBook, iPads and other products in India.

The price hike by Apple comes just days after Cook had hinted at the company making the move in a recent interview.
