A memory shortage is reportedly affecting the tech industry, with macbooks being impacted and laptop prices rising as a result. Apple has increased prices across several of its products, including macbooks and mac minis, although the extent of the price hikes and the specific models affected is unclear. The memory shortage is expected to be a long-term issue, with at least one supplier warning that it could last until 2030, and other companies, such as microsoft, also raising prices on their laptops.
