Apple has alerted customers that it is raising prices for its laptops and tablets. A few MacBook and iPad options will now cost up to 20 per cent more. Some buyers will pay about two hundred pounds extra compared to last summer. Apple says the jump is due to chips and parts getting pricier and harder to source. The models catching the biggest rises include the 14-inch MacBook Pro and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Shops have been told to refresh their websites with the new figures by the weekend. Industry watcher say the cost hike could put off shoppers who are already managing their spending closely.
