Apple Raises iPhone Prices in Japan
Apple has raised the prices of several iPhone models in Japan, with increases up to 11%. This decision comes on the heels of earlier price hikes for Mac and iPad models worldwide. While Apple blamed the previous increases on supply chain shortages, the current price hikes appear linked to the depreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar. Notably, no price adjustments have been reported in the U.S. or other countries. This trend of price increases extends beyond hardware, with Apple also raising prices for digital services like iCloud+ and Apple Music in Japan.
