The RAMpocalypse Reaches Apple

Apple just raised prices across most of its line, and the damage is concentrated exactly where you’d expect: the memory- and storage-heavy MacBook Pro and Mac Studio configurations. This is the RAMpocalypse reaching Cupertino, and it has been grinding on long enough that even Apple’s roughly three-year fab commitments, which usually buy it a long buffer against this sort of thing, have run out of runway. It has also put my plans to upgrade anything this year firmly on hold. Not being exclusively a Mac person helps, since I have other places to put my money and my workloads, but it is still a major pain.
