Apple execs are now acknowledging the company is going to need to raises prices to cope with higher component costs, particularly memory. Apple has been battling to avoid doing so, but warned this week that those efforts are “unsustainable.” The price pressure is being felt across the tech industry. Omdia predicts the average selling price (ASP) of smartphones globally will increase by around 20% this year — partly because AI industry demands have pushed up RAM prices and partly because of rapid cost increases in processor production as a direct consequence of war in the Middle East. This impacts anything that uses memory or processors. Apple must raise prices, CEO warns “We’re doing our best to mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable,” current Apple CEO Tim Cook told the Wall Street Journal. OK, so prices are going to go up. But how? If Apple must raise prices,

Europe’s evangelistic approach to insisting Apple open up personal data to competing AI services is hurting Apple users in the region. More than that, it also places its entire business sector at risk, and a newly-published Jamf survey suggests why. Announced at WWDC 2026, Apple Intelligence/Siri AI relies on personal, contextual data to run. Europe wants that same information to be made available to third-party services for competing apps, but has not worked with Apple to protect user confidentiality. It’s an approach that places your data at risk of exfiltration using those apps because Europe is insisting Apple share personal information with the developers of other apps. The desire to protect that data is why Apple won’t distribute Siri AI in the EU for a while. Jamf survey exposes the IT risks of AI It’s not as if Europe doesn’t understand the risk of data leaks in an era of AI. Just look at the bloc’s focus on things that do matter, such as sovereign AI or managed AI services li
