TradingKey – Apple ( AAPL) has officially implemented its largest global hardware price hike in recent years, raising prices across the board for the entire Mac series, iPad, and other products.
As a bellwether of the global consumer electronics industry, Apple’s direct passing of skyrocketing supply chain costs to consumers sent shockwaves through the market, causing its stock to slide over 5% at one point on Thursday, marking its largest single-day drop since February.
As of press time, Apple was down 4.78% to $279.15.
