Tim Cook afirma que las subidas de precios de Apple son inevitables

El CEO de Apple, Tim Cook, ha advertido que el aumento de los costes de los chips de memoria y almacenamiento obligará a subir los precios de los productos de la compañía.

Cook declaró a The Wall Street Journal que la empresa ha intentado absorber los costes más elevados, pero que ya no puede seguir haciéndolo. "Desafortunadamente, las subidas de precios son inevitables", afirmó. "Hemos estado tratando de proteger a nuestros clientes de los incrementos, pero la situación se ha vuelto insostenible".

Estos comentarios se producen meses antes del esperado lanzamiento de la línea iPhone 18. Cook no especificó qué productos se verán afectados ni cuándo entrarán en vigor los cambios.

La mayor demanda de chips impulsada por los centros de datos de IA ha superado la oferta, afectando a los costes en todo el sector tecnológico. Se espera que el impacto se prolongue hasta 2028.
