After these increases, will Apple be maintaining the previous profit margin?

Or are they also sharing the pain with the customer and partially increasing prices only?

The ridiculous thing about profit margin, is that if RAM increases Apple's cost by $100, they have to increase the selling price by a multiple of that to maintain the same %. Same exact factory line, labor cost, shipping cost, but have to 1.5x everything at the shrine of the bean counters.
