$Apple(AAPL.US) Apple plans to increase prices on its devices due to a global shortage of memory and storage chips, as confirmed by CEO Tim Cook. With rising costs impacting margins, analysts suggest that price hikes, particularly for the iPhone, could be around $100 to $270, though exact details remain unclear. Despite potential demand destruction, Apple's strong brand loyalty and product ecosystem may minimize negative consumer response to these increases. More importantly, memory shortages will eventually affect other brands like Samsung as well, and it remains to be seen if the competitors will also raise prices. @Bridge Buzz SG
