Apple has informed customers that it is increasing prices for its laptops and tablets. A few MacBook and iPad choices will now cost as much as 20 per cent more. Some buyers will pay around two hundred pounds extra compared to last summer. Apple says the jump is due to components and parts becoming pricier and harder to source. The devices catching the biggest rises include the 14-inch MacBook Pro and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Shops have been urged to refresh their websites with the new figures by the weekend. Industry observers say the increase could deter shoppers who are already watching their spending carefully.
