Apple has raised prices across Macs and iPads as the ongoing memory and storage crunch continues to push up component costs. Several iPad models are now $100 to $200 more expensive than before. This makes the ongoing Amazon Prime Day deals one of the last easy ways to buy an iPad at a more reasonable price before higher official pricing becomes the new normal.
