Apple raised the price of its Apple TV 4K and HomePod line in the United States, pushing the Wi‑Fi‑only TV from $129 to $199 and the HomePod from $299 to $349. The moves come as the company waits for next‑generation hardware.

The price jump follows a global spike in memory‑chip costs, which Apple cites as the main driver. The company also increased prices on Macs and iPads, noting that the rapid rise in RAM and SSD prices has never been seen before.

Consumers face higher entry points while Apple delays a refreshed Apple TV, HomePod, and HomePod mini. Rumors point to an A17 Pro‑equipped TV and a HomePod mini that may integrate an N1 chip for Wi‑Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. The new devices are expected later this year, but the price hike makes the current models less attractive.

Apple’s strategy highlights how component shortages can squeeze margins and force retailers to adjust pricing, even as the brand signals a near‑future update with a more personal Siri experience.
