The hike is steep, the increase on their popular product, iPad Air: +25.0%; MacBook Air: +18.2%; This is unreasonable since memory is an existing component but the hike is so much that it is as though Apple is upgrading a main component in those products. No wonder the price of Apple stock fell by 6.1%, Apple share will be on the defensive side in near term as people try to find alternatives.$Apple(AAPL.US)" datetime: "2026-06-29T06:30:13.000Z" locales: - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/topics/100000000765280.md) - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/topics/100000000765280.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/topics/100000000765280.md) author: "[gedebe](https://longbridge.com/en/profiles/17009207.md)" generator: "portal-rs" --- # Apple suddenly announce a price a steep price hike… ### Related Stocks - [AIR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AIR.US.md) - [AAPL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPL.US.md) - [603020.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/603020.CN.md) ## Comments (1) - **Big_Angel · 2026-06-29T07:21:50.000Z**: The hike size does look aggressive, but Apples whole history is people threatening to switch then buying anyway. Near-term pressure makes sense, the finding alternatives part I am less convinced about. --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
