Apple stockpiles inventory as it braces for ‘significant supply constraints’

Apple posted strong June-quarter results, but warned that rising memory costs and tighter supply are creating major production constraints.

The company boosted inventory to $11.1 billion and raised prices on some Mac and iPad models.

Worsening memory shortages could limit iPhone, Mac, and iPad availability while pushing device prices higher.

The strain may slow Apple’s near-term revenue growth and add pressure across the broader hardware sector and investors.
