do you think next macbooks will become even more expensive because of tsmc raising the prices ? (this paired with chip shortage too maybe )

will macbooks and imacs get even more expensive,or did apple already increased the margins in order to keep the same price next year and forward ?

Upcoming Macs will almost always be more expensive regardless of what TSMC does or doesn't do, or any other reason. Apple didn't become a gazillion-dollar company because they give things away. See $19 USD microfibre cloth, for example.

Absolutely not? The question is now,does apple seem to have enough margins not to update their prices relatively to the nodes cost,or will they increase it .

I would be concerned about military action on Taiwan by China, since they are in Taiwan. it is not for nothing that Apple is financing a move to a FAB plant for them into the USA.

The increased prices will be offset by Apple not having to pay Intel markup. It’ll be a wash. Not saying prices won’t go up but if they do then it won’t be just because of the chip shortage.
