Higher Apple prices look set to slow upgrade cycles
A subsequent analyst report suggested that there won’t be any improvement in supply-chain pricing before 2028, and even that will be limited in effect. It seems pretty clear that the far higher pricing in place today will last for years as a minimum, and quite possibly won’t ever be reverted. If anyone were likely to grit their teeth and continue buying Apple products at the same rate, you’d expect it to be 9to5Mac readers, but a poll on Friday suggests that there are limits even for this demographic.
