Other products similarly affected include Apple Watch and AirPods, with some models seeing as much as a 10% increase in pricing as well.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Apple in Japan declined to comment about the new pricing.<\/p>\n<p>Apple\u2019s move isn\u2019t uncommon in Japan, where many local retailers have been forced to increase prices of imported products as the yen continues to stay at a depressed level.<\/p>\n<p>Just three weeks earlier, the Cupertino, California-based company raised prices on Macs, iPads, home devices and the Vision Pro globally due to a prolonged memory chip shortage. IPhones, AirPods and Apple Watch were not affected then. So far, there is no indication that Apple will raise iPhone prices in markets other than Japan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple raised the prices of iPhones and some others products in Japan as the yen continues to hover&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":591654,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[257],"tags":[311,18,19,431,17,279,82,59729],"class_list":["post-591653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-apple","tag-eire","tag-ie","tag-iphone","tag-ireland","tag-mobile","tag-technology","tag-yen"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116939493582257467","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/591653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=591653"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/591653\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/591654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=591653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=591653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=591653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
